Congratulations to the cast and crew of Nurse the Dead on its world premiere!

We are especially excited to celebrate lead actress Jelynn Malone and director Mark Labella, whose work brings this unique Filipino-American supernatural comedy-drama to life. Featuring a talented Fil-Am cast and creative team, Nurse the Dead is a great example of the stories and voices that continue to elevate Filipino representation in film and television.

Our partner, Jonah Toleno, has had the pleasure of working with Jelynn and her team at Mostra Creative Agency on various projects, and we are thrilled to support this milestone achievement.

Wishing the entire cast and crew continued success as audiences discover Nurse the Dead. We look forward to seeing what comes next.

Garcia Hong Law is proud to represent Anthony Catena, a father searching for answers and seeking information from individuals he believes have helped conceal the whereabouts of his daughter.

In Catena v. Wade-Northen, et al. (Case No. 30-2025-01504829-CU-NP-CJC), the defense recently attempted to delay the case by asking the Court to stay/pause the litigation based on Fifth Amendment concerns. The Court denied the request and ordered that the case move forward.

This ruling allows discovery to continue and moves the case one step closer to obtaining information our client has been seeking.

At Garcia Hong Law, we continue fighting for clients facing difficult and deeply personal disputes — especially when delay tactics stand in the way of answers and accountability.

Winning an anti-SLAPP motion means protecting the right to report concerns to law enforcement without facing retaliatory litigation.

Garcia Hong Law successfully obtained dismissal of defamation and false light claims arising from communications to law enforcement, and our client may now recover attorneys’ fees under California’s anti-SLAPP statute.

Grateful the Court recognized the importance of protecting petitioning activity and free speech rights.
