Green v. Suzuki CA2/7
Gabriel Green appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants Daniel Suzuki, M.D., and San Marino Psychiatric Associates (SMPA), in which Dr. Suzuki is a partner. Green brought claims for professional negligence, abuse and neglect of a dependent adult, and intentional infliction of emotional distress alleging Dr. Suzuki and SMPA failed to provide adequate care to Green while he was involuntarily committed to the Aurora Las Encinas Hospital (LEH) under Welfare and Institutions Code section 5150. The trial court concluded Dr. Suzuki and SMPA carried their burden to show Dr. Suzuki’s treatment of Green was within the standard of care and did not cause Green’s injuries. Green submitted no evidence in opposition, and the court granted the summary judgment motion, finding Green failed to meet his burden to raise a triable issue of fact.
