A judge in Houston has dismissed malicious prosecution and civil conspiracy claims that Houston plaintiffs lawyer George Fleming brought against two Houston firms and five Houston lawyers in 2014.

On Feb. 24, 234th District Judge Wesley Ward signed orders granting “Anti-SLAPP” motions to dismiss claims Fleming filed against the Kirklin Law Firm of Houston and Charles, Paul and Stephen Kirklin; and claims that Fleming and Fleming & Associates filed against Ware, Jackson, Lee & Chambers of Houston and partners Don Jackson and Jeffrey Chambers. Ward wrote in the order that he will consider at a later date requests for attorney fees and sanctions.
