Opinion
RUBIN, J.
—Plaintiffs Paula Cruz and four of her neighbors appeal from the order dismissing as an anti-SLAPP action their complaint against the City Council of the City of Culver City (the council) and five of its council members for allegedly violating the state’s open meeting laws. We reject plaintiffs’ contentions that the action is exempt from the anti-SLAPP provisions because it concerned the public interest, and affirm because there is no probability plaintiffs will prevail on the merits.
