California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in L. A. v. Griffith Co., G053344 (Cal. App. 2017):
Once the defendant or cross defendant satisfies the first prong on the anti-SLAPP analysis, the burden shifts to the pleader to demonstrate the "probability that the plaintiff will prevail on the claim." (Code Civ. Proc., 425.16, subd. (b)(1); Collier v. Harris (2015) 240 Cal.App.4th 41, 49-50.)
