Effective April 16, 2018, the Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District amends
Local Rule 1regarding Mediation and
Local Rule 2regarding Electronic Filing
Rule 1(e)(1): "All parties in a civil appeal shall file a Mediation Statement Form within 15 days of the date the Clerk of this court sends notice that the court has received the notice of appeal. Each party shall also serve a copy of their completed Mediation Statement Form on all other parties."
Also of note, from the NYT today, #GorsuchStyle Garners a Gusher of Groans. But Is His Writing Really That Bad?
And for today's installment of appellate sanctions, see this 4/3 decision here, which ends with sanctions against appellant of $5K for the respondent and $2500 for the Court of appeal, and which begins:
This is appellant[s] fourth trip to the Court of Appeal in the same case. It is at least one trip too many. All the issues raised in this appeal have been adversely decided as to [appellant] in at least one of two previous appeals. In deciding the last of these, we carefully explained why he could not repeatedly raise the same issues in serial appeals. This explanation fell on deaf ears.
