In an earlier appeal, we affirmed a judgment of dismissal following an order granting defendants’ special motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP (anti-strategic lawsuit against public participation) statute (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16; further undesignated section references are to the Code of Civil Procedure). We also awarded defendants costs and attorney fees on appeal, with the amount to be determined by the trial court.

On remand, the trial court entered an order for costs and attorney fees that included expenses incurred both for the appeal and for a challenge to the undertaking submitted by plaintiffs to stay enforcement of the judgment pending appeal;

Plaintiffs appeal,'challenging only that portion of the costs and attorney fees award arising from litigation of the undertaking. Plaintiffs contend the award exceeded the trial court’s jurisdiction under section 425.16 and the terms of our remand. We affirm the postjudgment order awarding costs and attorney fees.
