Can a vexatious litigant obtain leave to file an appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mir v. San Antonio Cmty. Hosp., E051012 (Cal. App. 2011):
In Mahdavi v. Superior Court (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 32, the court held that the appellate division of the trial court could not require a vexatious litigant to obtain leave before filing an appeal in a case in which he was the defendant. (Id. at p. 37.) Mir argues that Mahdavi is controlling in the present case. We disagree.
