Case Synopsis
The Court held that Nevada’s anti-SLAPP statutes do not violate a plaintiff’s right to a jury trial because the district court does not engage in any fact-finding. Under prong one of the two-prong test, the district court does not engage in any fact finding involving the plaintiff’s claim and cannot defeat a plaintiff’s claim. Similarly, under prong two, the district court does not engage in fact finding, but instead considers whether the plaintiff’s claim is legally sufficient. Therefore, the Court concluded that the two-prong test is very similar to summary judgement because it allows district courts to dismiss claims that will not reasonably succeed.
