Below are some choice snippets from this unpub'd
here from 2/5 today:
- Plaintiffs also argued California rules prohibiting citation to
unpublished decisions by the Courts of Appeal abridged their
constitutional rights.
- This attorney fees appeal nosedives almost as fast as
plaintiffs’ last untimely appeal of the trial court’s anti-SLAPP
ruling.
- Further, even if we had an
adequate record, we would find plaintiffs’ apportionment
argument unconvincing; their citations to unpublished cases are
of course no match for settled law that treats dismissal of an
appeal as an unqualified victory for a respondent. And as to
those citations to unpublished cases, we reject plaintiffs’
argument that rules prohibiting their citation are
unconstitutional. We also impose modest sanctions ... for citing the unpublished cases
- Plaintiffs’ Monday morning quarterback argument to the
contrary is unpersuasive.
- Published authority already exists warning against citation
of unpublished opinions. [Cites]
