Rebeca Hinds, Petitioner: v. Corrine Foreman, Respondent:

Summary

The court held that the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction to review Hinds’s county-court final judgment granting an anti-SLAPP special motion to dismiss. Although the anti-SLAPP and appellate-jurisdiction statutes purported to authorize that appeal, they conflicted with the Colorado Constitution’s requirement that county-court final judgments be reviewed by the supreme court or a district court. The court remanded with directions to dismiss the appeal and granted Hinds leave to refile in the district court out of time.
