In a writ proceeding challenging a denial of summary adjudication, we review the trial court's ruling de novo. (Buss v. Superior Court (1997) 16 Cal.4th 35, 60, 65 Cal.Rptr.2d 366, 939 P.2d 766; Dyer v. Superior Court (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 61, 65, 65 Cal.Rptr.2d 85.) In the present case there are no disputed issues of fact material to the legal issue of whether the affirmative defense of retaliatory eviction is available in an unlawful detainer proceeding filed under the Ellis Act. Thus, our task is to decide that legal issue on the undisputed facts and determine whether petitioner is entitled to summary adjudication as a matter of law. (56 Cal.App.4th at pp. 65-66, 65 Cal.Rptr.2d 85.)
