p0512 REVIEW DENIED Complaints made to a City Council member and conversations the council member had with other city officials regarding the complaints were exercises of the First Amendment right of petition, so the SLAPP statute applies to an action arising from the complaints and conversations; an injunction preventing City Council members from advocating their constituents' positions would be too broad a prior restraint on speech to be Constitutional.
