The Court of Appeal delineates the arguments and conduct of Los Angeles attorney Cyrus Sanai in this comprehensive, 37-page opinion. It is devastating. I've never seen the Court of Appeal savage an appellate brief so thoroughly as Justice Stratton does here.
Oh, and the opinion ends with this neat little kicker:
"Sanai did not report to jail and the trial court issued a
bench warrant for his arrest. He is currently a fugitive from
justice. He has willfully disobeyed the trial court’s order. Under the circumstances he is not entitled to challenge the sanctions
orders on appeal."
Ouch.
