JR v. TS
Plaintiff is a police officer who brought suit for assault against a BLM activist, for injuries he allegedly suffered at a George Floyd rally. Richard Berne and Alesha Powell brought a pre-Answer “Anti-Slapp” (“Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation”) motion against Plaintiff, arguing that Plaintiff brought the suit to deter our client from continuing his political activities. Unable to respond to this motion by showing a non-political basis for the suit, Plaintiff discontinued the case.
