Hamilton v. Arana CA1/4
Acting in propria persona, Paul Hamilton filed the underlying action for intentional infliction of emotional distress against S. Arana, a correctional officer at the prison where Hamilton is an inmate. During pretrial proceedings, the superior court declared Hamilton to be a vexatious litigant under California’s vexatious litigant statute, Code of Civil Procedure, section 391 et seq., and ordered him to post security before proceeding with his case against Arana. Hamilton did not post security, but he did file a notice of appeal from the court’s order declaring him a vexatious litigant. Thereafter, the court dismissed Hamilton’s complaint with prejudice and entered judgment in favor of Arana.
