Just FYI: Katzen et al. managed to get some fees back:

"the Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ motions to dismiss, DENIES 
Defendants’ motion to bifurcate without prejudice, GRANTS 
Defendants’ special motions to strike, and AWARDS attorneys’ fees 
in the amount of $14,486.68 for Defendants Katzer and KAM and
$16,976.25 for Defendant Russell."
