What the appeals judges came up with:
On April 29, 2008, Notaro was driving to perform a show at the Hollywood Improv club when the promoter called her to inform her that Spitzberg had been removed from the club. When Notaro arrived, she saw Spitzberg outside the club, talking to people. Notaro entered the club through a side door. The security guard for the Improv club, Brian Whitaker, told Notaro that Spitzberg said that she knew where Notaro lived, the color and make of Notaro's car, and the car's license plate number. Spitzberg, her mother, and her sister remained outside the front of the club and verbally attacked other performers, patrons, and security guards for over two hours. Notaro attempted to leave the club, but because she felt unsafe, she remained in the club. The police were called, but they were unable to take any action because Notaro's life had not been directly threatened. After the Spitzbergs left, Notaro went home.
Police report to Gregozek from LAPD's Threat management unit– April 29th 2008- statement by notaro given on April 30th 2008

At 2130 hours Notaro finished her act and was leaving the club. Notaro was outside with a friend when she saw Lauren spitzberg walking towards her. Notaro went back inside the club and watched from a window. Spitzberg, her sister, and mother were all outside the club yelling about Spitzberg being removed from the club. Spitzberg stated that R better watch her back and that she knew where she lived what car she drove. Patrol officers were called and arrived at the scene.
Affidavit of Notaro- April 29th 2008 - swon on May 5th 2008
On the night of Tuesday 29th 2008 I performed at the Improv in Hollywood.CA. As I was driving to the club, Lesley Wolff, the promoter for the show called me to inform me that Alisa had been inside the club and had been removed. As I pulled up at 8.PM, I saw Alisa Outside talking to People. I noticed a sherriff the street, unrelated to the situation, and asked him to see what was going on., to distract alisa, so I could go through the side door.
Brian, the door security informed me that Alisa had announced to him my license plate number and color/make of car, and warned that she knew where I lived.
At 9:30 p.m I was informed that Alisa had left, and then I attempted to leave the club. Just as I took a step out of the door I saw Lauren Walking towards the venue.. Feeling unsafe I went back inside. I was informed that Alisa, Lauren, and their mother were now all in the front of the club. I was stuck inside the club for two more hours as the three of them verbally attacked performers, patrons, and security. The police were called and made note of the incident but because my life had not been directly threatened they were unable to take action. Eventually, the three women left and I was able to go home
