Le Francois v. Goel

After the individual defendants' (defendants) first summary judgment motion was denied, they filed a second, essentially identical motion based on the same evidence and arguments over a year later; the trial court granted it this time, and Le Francois and Herald (plaintiffs) appealed, arguing the second motion violated statutory limits on repetitive reconsideration motions. The Court of Appeal affirmed, and the plaintiffs sought California Supreme Court review.
