Deuschel v. USC Faculty Dental Practice CA2/5
Plaintiff Michael Deuschel (plaintiff), representing himself, sued USC Faculty Dental Practice and USC Ostrow School of Dentistry (defendants) for dental malpractice and breach of contract. During the litigation, he requested multiple stays and continuances due to medical issues. The court denied certain of plaintiff’s requested stays and continuances and ultimately granted defendants’ unopposed motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff appeals the court’s denial of his requests, which he claims should have been analyzed as requests for accommodation under Rule 1.100 of the California Rules of Court (Rule 1.100). We are asked to decide whether plaintiff has affirmatively shown the trial court erred on the record presented, which includes no reporter’s transcripts of the hearings during which the court considered plaintiff’s requests and which, so far as we can discern, reveals plaintiff did not present the legal theory on which he now seeks reversal.
