Dumas v. Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff filed suit against the county and others, alleging various civil rights violations stemming from plaintiff's 2015 arrest.
The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the complaint based on plaintiff's repeated discovery violations. The court held that, to the extent plaintiff argued that the trial judge erred in striking his statement of disqualification, that claim was not reviewable on appeal. The court also held that the trial court did not err in sustaining the demurrer in part where nothing in the text of Code of Civil Procedure section 430.41, subdivision (a)(4), conditions its operation on compliance with other provisions. Because some of plaintiff's claims did not affect the trial court's judgment dismissing the case based on plaintiff's failure to respond to an order to show cause, the court need not consider those contentions. Finally, plaintiff's remaining claims were rejected.
