appellant's alleged written statements on the report were of reasonable
concern to any government agency to which appellant distributed the
report. NRS 41.637 (1997); John, 125 Nev. at 753, 762, 219 P.3d at 1281,
1287. As to appellant's alleged slanderous statements about respondent to
the marshals, false statements made to police officers are not "protected
activity" within the meaning of the anti-SLAPP statute. See Lefebvre v.
Lefebvre, 131 Cal. Rptr. 3d 171, 175 (Ct. App. 2011) (holding that the act of
making a false police report is not an act in furtherance of the
constitutional rights of petition or free speech). Accordingly, we conclude
that the district court did not err in finding that appellant failed to meet
his burden to prevail on an anti-SLAPP special motion to dismiss, and
therefore we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.'

'We have reviewed appellant's remaining arguments and conclude
that they lack merit in the context of an appeal from an order denying a
special motion to dismiss.
