LASC Grants Dismissal with Prejudice in Pro Per Case

March 13, 2012

The Los Angeles Superior Court granted dismissal with prejudice in a pro per case handled by Lisa D. Angelo.

The case arose from an alleged theft of property from a medical waiting room at a local "free clinic" hospital. The plaintiff alleged the hospital failed to have proper surveillance and working video cameras on the day in question. He sought compensatory and punitive damages for his loss of property.

On March 13, 2012, the court sustained the hospital's demurrer to the complaint. As part of the court’s order, the plaintiff was provided 20 days leave to file an amended complaint. As the plaintiff failed to file an amended pleading within the time-frame provided by the court, the court granted the hospital's motion to dismiss the case with prejudice.
