Pinto v. Leon
Maria Pinto (appellant) appeals from an order of the superior court entered after an evidentiary hearing in this civil harassment matter. Appellant filed requests for orders to stop harassment against Maria de Jesus Leon (Leon) and Jorge Flores (Flores) (respondents).[1] After an evidentiary hearing lasting five days, the trial court found appellant failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that respondents engaged in unlawful violence, made a credible threat of violence, or engaged in a course of conduct that seriously alarmed or harassed appellant. However, the trial court issued limited orders directing respondents to keep their dog on their property and secured at all times; replace their outdoor security lighting to minimize illumination of appellant’s property; refrain from blocking appellant’s driveway; and refrain from allowing guests to gather outside of their home after 9:00 p.m.
Appellant contends that the trial court erred in failing to grant her petition for civil harassment order. We find no error, and affirm the order of the trial court.
