Law Offices of Andrew L. Ellis v. Yang, No. B205452

In plaintiff's case against defendant claiming breach of contract in refusing to pay for legal representation, among others, trial court's denial of defendant's anti-SLAPP motion is vacated and remanded as the trial court lacked the jurisdiction to rule on the merits of the motion because, prior to the ruling, plaintiff had voluntarily dismissed the case before trial had commenced.
