Does a plaintiff who chooses to represent himself on appeal have a greater burden on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ulmschneider v. Stockton Unified Sch. Dist., C089601 (Cal. App. 2020):
That plaintiff is self-represented does not change his burden on appeal. (Nwosu v. Uba (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1229, 1246.) A party who chooses to represent himself on appeal is " 'to be treated like any other party and is entitled to the same, but no greater consideration than other litigants and attorneys.' " (Id. at p. 1247.)
