The following excerpt is from BUSH V. STEELE., No. 71743, No. C062092 (Cal. App. 2010):
Plaintiff appears without counsel; however, "Except when a particular rule provides otherwise, the rules of civil procedure must apply equally to parties represented by counsel and those who forgo attorney representation." (Rappleyea v. Campbell (1994) 8 Cal.4th 975, 984-985.)
