Anil Vazirani Lawsuit in favor of Anil Vazirani and his company Vazirani
AVIVA USA CORPORATION et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants,v. ANIL VAZIRANI et al., Defendants and Respondents.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Michelle Rosenblatt, Judge. Affirmed. Snell & Wilmer, Andrew F. Halaby and Todd E. Lundell for Plaintiffs and Appellants. Barnes & Thornburg, Stephen R. Mick and Levi W. Heath for Defendants and Respondents.
Plaintiffs and appellants Aviva USA Corporation (Aviva) and Creative Marketing International Corporation (CMIC) appeal from a judgment following orders granting motions for summary adjudication in favor of defendants and respondents Anil Vazirani and his company Vazirani & Associates Financial, LLC (VAF) in this action arising out of unsolicited electronic messages (e-mail). Appellants contend the e-mail sent by respondents violated Business and Professions Code section 17529.5, which prohibits advertising through e-mail with certain deceptive features.1 We conclude the trial court correctly found the e-mails did not constitute commercial advertisements under section 17529.5.
