AN APPEAL TO REASON

Good news for plaintiff's attorneys who specialize in medical malpractice! The Petition for Review in Garibay v. Hemmat (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 735 was denied by the California Supreme Court. That means you can continue to cite Garibay in opposition to defense motions for summary judgment. (See my post of May 17, 2008 for more details.) Everyone should be familiar with this case and don't forget that you should comply with its requirements as well when you file your opposing expert declarations.

By the way, an article that I wrote, which was published in Plaintiff magazine, was cited in the Petition for Review. You can also check out that article by searching the archives at www.plaintiffmagazine.com.
