Boing v. Washington Mutual Bank CA2/5
Plaintiff Tjomme Arthur Boing sued defendant Washington Mutual Bank for injuries he claimed occurred on September 4, 2008 when he slipped and fell at defendant’s bank. On June 25, 2013, during the second day of trial, plaintiff asked to dismiss his case because he was in pain, on medication, and not thinking properly. According to plaintiff, the trial judge insisted that the dismissal be with prejudice. When plaintiff who was self-represented asked what that meant, it was explained that he could never sue defendant again. The clerk then printed a dismissal form, the opposing counsel filled it in, and plaintiff signed it dismissing his case with prejudice. Apparently no judgment or order signed by the court was ever entered.
