Sherwood v. Kern Valley Healthcare Dist. CA5
Tyler Wayne Sherwood (plaintiff) is the surviving spouse of Alexandra Sherwood, who committed suicide at the age of 21. Plaintiff sued Kern Valley Healthcare District (defendant) for wrongful death on a theory of medical negligence. Defendant, a public entity, successfully moved for summary judgment based on plaintiff’s noncompliance with procedural requirements of the Government Claims Act (Gov. Code, § 810 et seq.), formerly known as the Tort Claims Act. This appeal is taken from a judgment entered on the order granting defendant’s motion. However, the issues concern the trial court’s denial of a request for leave to amend the complaint.
