San Francisco: “Chris Norberg left a negative review on Yelp after he got into a billing dispute with chiropractor Steven Biegel. Instead of quietly fuming like most people who get bad reviews on Yelp do, Biegel sued Norberg for defamation.” (Consumerist, Nov. 25, via Happy Hospitalist; defendant’s website).

Although I am not a California attorney, it seems that CA’s SLAPP statute is applicable here.
