MEMORANDUM

Gail Harper, an attorney, appeals pro se from the district court’s order granting an anti-SLAPP motion to strike certain state law claims against the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Police Department, George Gascon, Carl Ten-nenbaum, Chad Ertola, and Anna Brown (the “City defendants”).

Carpenter, 558 U.S. 100, 106-07, 113 , 130 S.Ct. 599 , 175 L.Ed.2d 458 (2009) (discussing collateral order…
