Scaccia v. Superior Court CA3
Brian Scaccia believes medical professionals at a Sutter Health facility conspired to kill his mother, Anne Ringkamp. After his mother died, Scaccia sued these medical professionals, Sutter Health Sacramento Sierra Region (Sutter Health), and his brother, John Scaccia (John). The parties proceeded to engage in discovery. When the discovery matters became voluminous, the trial court issued a tentative ruling that appointed a discovery referee for all discovery motions. The trial court subsequently narrowed the scope of the appointment. Scaccia responded by filing the present writ petition in which he seeks to vacate the discovery referee appointment on grounds of indigency. This court originally denied Scaccia’s petition. Scaccia then filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court.
