Sierra v. Melbostad
Plaintiff Regulo Sierra sued his former attorneys, defendants Paul H. Melbostad and his law firm, for legal malpractice. The trial court sustained defendants’ demurrer to plaintiff’s first amended complaint without leave to amend on the ground the malpractice claims were time-barred.
Plaintiff, in pro. per. both here and below, purports to appeal from (1) the order sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend and (2) an order denying reconsideration of that order.
Neither order is appealable. (Nowlon v. Koram Ins. Center, Inc. (1991) 1 Cal.App.4th 1437, 1440; Annette F. v. Sharon S. (2005) 130 Cal.App.4th 1448, 1458–1459; 9 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (5th ed. 2008) Appeal, § 154, pp. 230–231, § 165, pp. 241–242.) Accordingly, we hereby dismiss this appeal.[2]
