Sarinana v. Soria
Plaintiffs (Mother), Richard C. Soria, Jr. (Richard Jr.), Barbara Soria (Barbara), Eleanor I. Soria (Eleanor), and Renee R. Soria (Renee) (collectively Plaintiffs) appeal from a judgment entered after the trial court granted a nonstatutory motion for judgment on the pleadings at the outset of trial. The trial court denied Plaintiffs request for a brief continuance to prepare written opposition and granted the motion on the same day it was filed, on the ground that each of Plaintiffs causes of action was time barred.
As Court are reversing, we cannot say the appeal is frivolous, so Court deny defendants motion for sanctions. Court agree with the defendants that the appellants briefs contain serious violations of the California Rules of Court. Court decline to impose sanctions this time, but warn Plaintiffs counsel that Court impose sanctions against him in the future for filing briefs with such rules violations. Court grant Plaintiffs motion to augment the record, deny Plaintiffs motion to strike portions of the clerks transcript, and deny Plaintiffs motion for award of costs and/or sanctions.
