[1] With respect to the first prong of the test, concerning protected activity, Intelligator's filing of the credit report in connection with a postdissolution motion falls squarely within the language of Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, subdivision (e)(1) and (2). Under the plain language of section 425.16, subdivision (e)(1) and (2), as well as the case law interpreting those provisions, all communicative acts performed by attorneys as part of their representation of a client in a judicial proceeding or other petitioning context are per se protected as petitioning activity by the anti-SLAPP statute. [Citations.] ( Cabral v. Martins (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 471, 479-480, 99 Cal.Rptr.3d 394 ( Cabral ).)
