Gallant Files Appeal in Wrongful Termination Lawsuit

Former Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant has filed a notice of appeal with Alameda County Superior Court, looking to reverse a recent decision in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

The notice of appeal was filed April 9th.

In February, her case was dismissed before the facts were tried; the City of Alameda was successful in leveraging statutory law originally intended to protect the public’s free speech rights, so-called SLAPP law, to dismiss the case.

The appeal may be dismissed, however, if Gallant’s new attorney’s, Stone and Graves of Gold River, California, don’t correct a rules of the court technical error, noticed by the court on April 10th, within 15 days.

The case number is RG11590505.
