2 Citing cases

  1. Sprague v. Kekoa

    No. A122018 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 8, 2009)   Cited 2 times

    Generally, the amount should reflect what is necessary to redress the ‘undue burden’ a frivolous appeal imposes on the legal system and respondent and to deter the same type of conduct in the future.” (Eisenberg et al., Cal. Practice Guide: Civil Appeals and Writs, supra, ¶ 11:135, p. 11-55, citing Pierotti v. Torian (2000) 81 Cal.App.4th 17, 33; In re Marriage of Stich (1985) 169 Cal.App.3d 64, 78; Hersch v. Citizens Savings & Loan Assn, supra, 146 Cal.App.3d 1002, 1013.) The factors that may be considered in setting the amount of sanctions include the appellant’s net worth (Bank of California v. Varakin, supra, 216 Cal.App.3d at p. 1640; In re Marriage of Stich, supra, 169 Cal.App.3d at p. 78) the need for “discourage[ment of] like conduct in the future” (Pierotti v. Torian, supra, 81 Cal.App.4th at pp. 34-35), and the lack of any discernible deterrent effect of any previous sanction order (Papadakis v. Zelis, supra, 8 Cal.App.4th at p. 1150).

  2. Ham v. Greene

    See McCarthy v. Warden, 213 Conn. 289, 293, 567 A.2d 1187 (1989) (judicial notice taken of file in federal court); see also Smith v. Dorsey, 599 So.2d 529, 548 (Miss. 1992); Matter of Vineland Chemical Co., 243 N.J. Super. 285, 579 A.2d 343, 360 n. 5 (App.Div. 1990), cert. denied, 127 N.J. 323, 604 A.2d 598 (1990); In re Marriage of Stich, 169 Cal.App.3d 64, 75, 214 Cal.Rptr. 919, 929 (1985), review denied, appeal dismissed, cert. denied, Stich v. Stich, 479 U.S. 946, 107 S.Ct. 428, 93 L.Ed.2d 379 (1986), reh. den. 479 U.S. 1047, 107 S.Ct. 913, 93 L.Ed.2d 862 (1987); Matter of Ronwin, 139 Ariz. 576, 680 P.2d 107, 111 n. 4 (1989), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 977, 104 S.Ct. 413, 78 L.Ed.2d 351 (1983); Sapp v. Wong, 654 P.2d 883, 885 n. 3 (1982). Of course, since court ordinarily adjourns at 5:00 P.M., these two matters are not necessarily inconsistent.
