Beauchesne v. Baugh CA6
Richard Beauchesne twice sued Bradford Baugh, one of a few lawyers who had once represented him in his dissolution action, along with Jeanne Schmidt, his sister and former guardian ad litem in the dissolution, and Thomas Kenefick, Schmidt’s boyfriend. In the second of Beauchesne’s lawsuits, filed over a year after the first, the trial court sustained Baugh’s demurrer to the second, third, fourth, and fifth causes of action on the ground that they were barred by the one-year statute of limitations in Code of Civil Procedure section 340.6.
As in the trial court, Beauchesne contends on appeal that both the appointment of a guardian ad litem and Schmidt’s representation by Baugh entitled him to tolling of the limitations period. We conclude that the trial court properly sustained the demurrer.
