Nonexistent cases? Appeal dismissed.

See the unpub'd decision here, where 2/5 dismisses the appeal of a pro per who: "After citing nonexistent cases in opposition to the demurrer in the trial court, which were brought to his attention, he cited nonexistent cases again in his briefs on appeal."

And see this published opinion from 4/3 about joint and several liability for sanctions and who has to appeal or not.

And here's a unpub from 2/1 dismissing an appeal because: "An order denying permission to substitute a defendant’s name for the Doe designation under section 340.1 is not listed among the appealable orders under section 904.1, nor does plaintiff identify any other statute rendering the order appealable."
