The following excerpt is from Rodriguez v. Piercy, B257941 (Cal. App. 2015):
Section 425.16 applies to a petition for a civil harassment restraining order under section 527.6. (Thomas v. Quintero (2005) 126 Cal.App.4th 635, 646-648 (Thomas) [civil harassment actions are "clearly and unambiguously" within the scope of the statute; there is no reason for the pendency of the motion to interfere with the statutory scheme for civil harassment petitions].)
