Representative Cases

Moore v. Superior Court (2020); 57 Cal. App.5th 441.
While representing a client at a mandatory settlement conference, Plaintiff Moore yelled at the other participants, including the temporary judge, and refused to engage in settlement discussions. He later acknowledged that his conduct was the result of a tactical decision he had made before the MSC began. The trial court found Plaintiff in contempt, and he appealed. Justice Goethals wrote the court’s published opinion in which one of the trial court’s contempt citations was affirmed.
