9 Language in Muller v. Tanner (1969) 2 Cal.App.3d 445 at page 453, 82 Cal.Rptr. 738, that "It may be assumed that the trial court will recognize that success breeds success when it is proper to do so" does not mean a trial court has discretion to review the soundness of the underlying suits, only that the trial court does consider the merits of the suit in which the litigant is claimed to be vexatious.
