Judge Edward Krumeich II ruled that Eric Grayson's lawsuit against BigLaw partner A. Mark Getachew was barred by Connecticut's anti-SLAPP law, asserting the case lacked merit.
Grayson's allegations included claims of abuse of process and vexatious litigation, relating to a New York Post article that suggested the Getachews had defaulted on rent.
The Getachews sued Grayson and his former clients after claiming they had submitted an affidavit that fed into a defamatory New York Post article.
This decision underscores the implications of state anti-SLAPP laws in protecting individuals from legal actions that aim to deter free speech or public participation.
