Summary reversal

Here's a case from 4/1 with a funny name and an unusual approach: The appellant filed (and won) a motion for a "summary reversal":

SUMMARY REVERSAL The court may summarily reverse a trial court order where (1) “the proper resolution of the appeal is so obvious and without dispute that briefing would not serve any useful purpose” (Weinstat v. Dentsply Internat., Inc. (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1213, 1224), and (2) the parties have waived oral argument (see Moles v. Regents of University of California (1982) 32 Cal.3d 867, 870).
