INTRODUCTION

Plaintiff and appellant Aslam Shaw (plaintiff) appeals from the trial court’s orders sustaining the demurrers of certain of the defendants to the first amended complaint with leave to amend; granting the Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (section 425.16) special motion to strike filed by two other defendants; denying his motion to extend the time within which to file an amended complaint (motion to extend time); and granting the ex parte requests of certain of the demurring defendants to dismiss the first amended complaint for failure to timely amend.1 We dismiss plaintiff’s appeals from the orders sustaining the demurrers with leave to amend and the order denying plaintiff’s motion to extend time as taken from nonappealable orders. We also dismiss as untimely plaintiff’s appeal from the order dismissing the first amended complaint against the Nations Title defendants. We affirm the trial court’s orders in favor of defendant Old Republic and the Diefer Law Group defendants dismissing the first amended complaint for failure to timely amend. And, we affirm the trial court’s order granting the Khaliqs’ special motion to strike the first amended complaint.
