De Los Santos v. San Diego MTS
Plaintiff Virginia De Los Santos (De Los Santos) appeals a judgment in favor of defendants San Diego Metropolitan Transit System and San Diego Transit Corporation (collectively, MTS) following the trial court's grant of MTS's summary judgment motion. The trial court granted summary judgment for MTS on the ground that De Los Santos's complaint for dangerous condition of public property (Gov. Code, § 830 et seq.) was barred by the two-year limitations period for an action for personal injury (Code Civ. Proc., § 335.1) and by De Los Santos's failure to timely file a government claim form (Gov. Code, § 911.2). We sought supplemental briefing from the parties regarding claim preclusion in light of the judgment in favor of MTS in De Los Santos's prior action against it arising out of the same injury. We conclude, based on the undisputed material facts, that De Los Santos's complaint was barred by res judicata and we affirm the judgment on that ground.
