Cases

GMSR secured a complete appellate win for its client, UCLA Medical Center (Regents of the University of California) and one of its doctors.  The Court of Appeal affirmed summary judgment in their favor in a medical malpractice and battery suit brought by a patient who underwent spinal surgery following a car accident.

The plaintiff argued that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her second request for a continuance of the summary judgment hearing.  The Court rejected that argument, holding that the plaintiff failed to meet the statutory requirements for a continuance and had already received ample time to secure new counsel and evidence.
