What is the test for a motion to strike in an anti-SLAPP action?

On the second prong of anti-SLAPP analysis, "the burden shifts to the plaintiff to demonstrate the merit of the claim by establishing a probability of success. . . . The court does not weigh evidence or resolve conflicting factual claims. Its inquiry is limited to whether the plaintiff has stated a legally sufficient claim and made a prima facie factual showing sufficient to sustain a favorable judgment. It accepts the plaintiff's evidence as true, and evaluates the defendant's showing only to determine if it defeats the plaintiff's claim as a matter of law. [Citation.] '[C]laims with the requisite minimal merit may proceed.' " (Baral v. Schnitt (2016) 1 Cal.5th 376, 384-385.) "On appeal, we review de novo the trial court's ruling on the motion to strike." (McGarry v. University of San Diego, supra, 154 Cal.App.4th at p. 109.)⁵
