p0580 REVIEW DENIED A plaintiff responding to a SLAPP motion by attempting to show the ability to make out a prima facie case must rely on admissible evidence, which for that purpose means evidence that, by its nature, is capable of being admitted at trial because it is competent, relevant and not barred by a substantive rule; a trial court did not err in considering such evidence in connection with a SLAPP motion, even though it was not authenticated in a way that would make it admissible at trial.
