Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange v. Nichols CA4/3
Patricia Jean Nichols, aka Heaven J. Nichols, appeals from an order declaring her a vexatious litigant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 391, et seq. The order came after Nichols waged a two and a half year campaign of repeated challenges to the validity of a restraining order obtained against her by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange (RCBO). Her arguments on appeal are largely a continuation of that effort.
However, the restraining order is not before us and consequently we cannot review either its validity or its propriety. Thus, we must disregard Nichols’ contention that the restraining order was improperly granted because the chief witness against her, Father Augustine Puchner, was her fiduciary, as well as her contention that in issuing the restraining order, the trial court failed to “apply the laws regarding sexual harassment and conspiracy.”
