Martinez v. O’Hara, No. G065950 (D3d3 Feb. 28, 2019)
The notice of appeal in this case refereed to the (female) trial judge as a “succubus.” For those without a copy of the Monster Manual on hand, that’s “a demon assuming female form which has sexual intercourse with men in their sleep.”
That, plus several baseless claims in briefs that the trial judge got the law wrong on purpose, get Plaintiff’s attorney in this case called out by name and referred to the California State Bar. Indeed, this is an otherwise unpublished opinion, the 3/3 went out of its way to publish this part to lay down a marker that sexist bullshit like that isn’t going to fly.
Good for them.
