3. Does an interpretation of the anti-SLAPP statute that allows for the dismissal of a defamation claim without evaluating whether the plaintiff has met the actual malice standard violate the plaintiff's First Amendment right to petition the government through access to the courts?
4. Whether a state court violates a party's Fourteenth Amendment right to due process under the United States Constitution when the state court summarily extinguishes that party's lawsuit without considering that party's evidence.
