Al Hoang Lawsuit Anti-SLAPP Motion With Exhibits

No.
2014-59665
Aloysus Hoang
vs.
Thinh Dat Nguyen
Thoi Bao Houston
In the 215th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Amended Motion to Dismiss
Under the Texas Citizens Participation Act

Judge Palmer:
Defendants Thinh Dat Nguyen and Thoi Bao Houston ask for relief
under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, Tex. Civ. Prac. &
Rem. Code 27.001 et seq., and would show that the legal action is
based on, relates to, or is in response to the defendants exercise of the
right of free speech, right to petition, or right of association; and that
the plaintiff has brought similar actions in the past and must be
sanctioned to deter him from bringing similar actions in the future.
Plaintiff is a public figure: he is a former Houston City Council
member, and a candidate for State Representative. See Plaintiffs
Original Petition at 34.
Plaintiffs complaint is based on the defendantsa magazine and
its editor-in-chiefwriting and saying things about his politics while
he was a candidate for the Texas Legislature. See Plaintiffs Original
Petition. These are by definition communications on a matter of public
concern, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 27.001(1), (7).

The aim of Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies
Code is:
to encourage and safeguard the constitutional rights of persons to petition, speak
freely, associate freely, and otherwise participate in government to the maximum
extent permitted by law and, at the same time, protect the rights of a person to file
meritorious lawsuits for demonstrable injury.
The plaintiff is in the habit of filing vexatious lawsuits aimed at
chilling his critics right to speak freely and participate in government.
This is at least the fifth time he has filed a meritless lawsuit aimed at
limiting public participation.
On June 10, 2003, in Cause Number 2003-32226, in the 151st
District Court of Harris County, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against
various defendants for libel and conspiracy based on public statements
(the author labeled [plaintiff] as a communist cadre, an
unprofessional attorney, an evil and wicked person) about the
plaintiff, a public figure. A copy of the petition in Cause Number
2003-32226 is attached as Exhibit A. A copy of the nonsuit in
Cause Number 2003-32226 is attached as Exhibit B.
Also on June 10, 2003, in Cuase Number 2003-32229, in the
157th District Court of Harris County, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit
against various defendants for libel and conspiracy based on public
statements that the plaintiff, a public figure, had released confidential

information, exaggerated, and lied about a meeting seeking a City of
Houston resolution recognizing the Republic of Vietnams flag as they
symbol of Houstons Vietnamese refugee communication. A copy of
the petition in Cause number 2003-32229 is attached as Exhibit C.
A copy of the dismissal order is attached as Exhibit D.
On September 6, 2005, in Cause Number 2005-57256, in the
151st District Court of Harris County, the plaintiff sued a defendant
for, among other things, libeling the plaintiff by, among other things,
libel[ing] Plaintiff to have secret dealings with the Vietnamese
Communist Politburo. A copy of the petition in Cause Number
2005-57256 is attached as Exhibit E. A copy of the order dismissing
Cause Number 2005-57255 for want of jurisdiction is attached as
Exhibit F.
On April 18, 2012, in Cause Number 2012-22612, in the 190th
District Court of Harris County, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against a
doctor for claiming publicly that he had treated the plaintiffs children
for free. A copy of the petition in Cause Number 2012-22612 is
attached as Exhibit G. A copy of the order dismissing Cause
Number 2012-22612 with prejudice is attached as Exhibit H.

date of service of the motion, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.
Code 27.004(a);

cause unnecessary delay or to increase the cost of litigation,
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 27.007(a);
Award to the defendants court costs, reasonable attorneys fees,
and other expenses incurred in defending against the legal action
as justice and equity may require, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.
Code 27.009(a)(1); and

court determines sufficient to deter the plaintiff from bringing

similar actions described in this chapter, Tex. Civ. Prac. &
Rem. Code 27.009(a)(2).
