Evans Hotels, LLC v. Unite Here! Local 30

Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit erred in holding that the First Amendment and the Noerr-Pennington doctrine protect the unions’ use and threatening to use lobbying and litigation to financially harm secondary employers despite those actions violating 29 U.S.C. § 158(b)(4); (2) whether the 9th Circuit erred in holding that the unions’ long history of using environmental, land-use, and zoning laws to block developments until developers agreed to labor agreements is not serial sham petitioning excluded from the Noerr-Pennington doctrine; and (3) whether, under Shady Grove Orthopedic Associates, P.A. v. Allstate Insurance Co., the procedures authorized by state anti-SLAPP statutes apply in federal courts.
