16.) Thus, Mr. Vu explicitly alleges that all of the protected activities alleged occurred after Ms. Huong Vu passed away.

The Court is aware of no authority providing that an estate may maintain a claim for elder abuse based on allegations that a defendant took, secreted, appropriated, obtained, or retained real or personal property of an elder after the elder’s death. (See Ring v. Harmon (2021) 72 Cal.App.5th 844, 851.) [“No authority supports the notion that the personal representative of a probate estate, acting in that capacity, has standing to bring an elder abuse claim on behalf of a beneficiary of that estate”].)

Based on the foregoing, Mr. Eriksson fails to show that either the second or sixth cause of action arises out of the protected activities. For this reason, the Court does not have authority to strike paragraphs 14, 15, 16, and/or 18 pursuant to Section 425.16,

However, in light of the Court’s ruling granting Mr. Eriksson’s motion to strike the second through fifth causes of action, the finding that these allegations cannot, as a matter of law, support either of the remaining claims – the first and sixth causes of action – renders the allegations irrelevant. While the Court does not have authority to strike paragraphs 14, 15, 16, and/or 18 pursuant to Section 425.16, it does have authority to strike them pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 436 on grounds that they are irrelevant.
