Leiendecker v. Asian Women United of Minn.
Annotate this CaseSinuon and Lawrence Leiendecker, husband and wife, were involved in litigation with Asian Women United of Minnesota (AWUM), a nonprofit organization, for a decade. In this lawsuit, the fifth suit between the parties,the Leiendeckers sought to recover for injuries allegedly inflicted by AWUM and other defendants through the suits the defendants brought against the Leiendeckers in the past. AWUM moved for dismissal under Minnesota’s anti-SLAPP statutes. The district court denied AWUM’s anti-SLAPP motion, concluding that the allegations in the Leiendeckers’ complaint were sufficient to defeat the motion. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the anti-SLAPP statutes required the Leiendeckers to produce evidence to defeat the anti-SLAPP motion rather than rely solely on the allegations in their complaint.
