A Flawed Simulacarum of a Real Estate Case

Mack v. All Cntys. Trustee Serv., Inc., No. B280650 (D2d1 Aug. 30, 2018). 

This is one of litigations that starts with a real estate dispute, and then metastasizes into a seemingly endless series of suits about the dispute, and then suits about the suits about the dispute, and so on. At some point, Plaintiff was declared vexatious litigant. 

This current iteration appears to be Plaintiffs effort to vacate judgments in earlier cases that resulted in her loss of title to the property. Plaintiff lost that in the trial court. On appeal, after vacillating several times between being represented (which avoids a vexatious litigant dismissal) and being pro per, Plaintiff finally manages to hang on to an attorney long enough to get to the merits. Or kind of. Because, represented or not, the record Plaintiff submitted on appeal is so deficient that the court can barely follow what’s going on, much less find a basis to hold that the earlier judgment was void. 

Affirmed.
