The moving party, a party under disability represented by the Public Guardian and Trustee as litigation guardian, sought leave to appeal an order approving a $1 million settlement of her motor vehicle accident claims.
The moving party was previously made subject to an order under Rule 37.16 prohibiting her from bringing further motions or appeals without leave due to a history of frivolous proceedings.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion, holding that the moving party lacked standing to act independently of her litigation guardian, and that the proposed appeal lacked reasonable grounds and would be an abuse of process.
