Terrance Walker v. Intelli-Heart Services, Inc., et al.
The question presented is:
1. Is applying state law Anti-Slapp procedure in Federal Court consistent with this Court's decision in Shady Grove? In particular,
a. Do Anti-Slapp law procedures Directly Conflict with Federal Rules 8, 12, and 56; the Necessary and Proper Clause; and Federal law?
b. Is the Ninth Circuit's "Side By Side" Approach impracticable, Rendering Shady Grove as well as Rules 8, 12, and 56 Easily-Evaded Formalites?
c. Does the Ninth Circuit Approach Conflict With Other Circuits That Have Uniformly Followed the Shady Grove Rule, rejecting state procedures?
2. Should this Court wait ten more years to ensure Circuit compliance with Shady Grove?
Is applying state law Anti-Slapp procedure in Federal Court consistent with Shady Grove?
