M.A. v. M.M. CA4/2
Defendant and appellant M.M. (defendant) appeals the grant of a civil harassment restraining order (Code Civ. Proc., § 527.6) ordering her to keep 100 yards away from plaintiff and respondent M.A., M.A.’s husband W.L. (husband) and M.A.’s daughter, K.M. M.A. had been in a relationship with defendant’s brother, who was K.M.’s father, but he had died. Defendant and M.A. maintained a relationship after defendant’s brother died and defendant visited with K.M. However, suddenly defendant sent threatening text messages to M.A. stating she was going to kill her, threatening to call child protective services (CPS) on M.A., and warning M.A. not to “mess with” defendant. M.A. obtained a temporary restraining order and the day it was served on defendant, CPS arrived at M.A.’s home to check on K.M. Defendant contacted M.A. twice after the TRO was granted. M.A. was granted a permanent restraining order after a hearing; it expired on June 27, 2018.
