Date Filed Document Text
March 22, 2019 Filing 19 SCHEDULING NOTICE by Judge Stephen V. Wilson re: MOTION for Consideration of Plaintiff's Vexatious Litigant and Require Payment of Security be Granted, and Defendant, Sloopy's Inc., Motion for Stay #11 , Order on Motion for Consideration #18 - The Court, having issued an order on the motion, vacates and takes off-calendar the hearing previously set for 3/25/2019. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (pc) TEXT ONLY ENTRY
March 19, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 18 MINUTES IN CHAMBERS ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DECLARE PLAINTIFF A VEXATIOUS LITIGANT #11 by Judge Stephen V. Wilson. However, Defendant does not offer any evidence that Plaintiff's lawsuits were meritless (and thus harassing or frivolous). In addition, Defendant does not cite or apply the correct federal standard for declaring someone a vexatious litigant. Thus, the Court DENIES Defendant's motion to declare Plaintiff a vexatious litigant. In addition, Plaintiff makes allegations against three defendants, each of which owns a property that Plaintiff visited. The properties are located in San Pedro, Burbank, and Manhattan Beach. Dkt. 1 6. Apparently the only connection between the properties is that Plaintiff visited all of them during a trip to California in December 2018. Id. The Court thus sua sponte DISMISSES the Complaint because it improperly joins three distinct and unrelated defendants. Plaintiff may refile individual complaints against the three defendants. (lom)
