Jamie Yvonne Barnes vs. Solano County Courthouse

Nature of Proceeding:     Hearing on Demurrer to Amended Complaint

Filed By:   Nguyen, Kenny V.

Defendant Solano County Courthouse’s demurrer to plaintiff’s First Amended
Complaint (“1AC”) is SUSTAINED without leave to amend, as follows.

The 1AC purports to assert four (4) causes of action against the sole named
defendant, the Solano County Courthouse:  Defamation, stalking, harassment and
extortion.  In reality, the substance of the allegations relate to the conduct of two             judges in Solano County who apparently issued various rulings adverse to plaintiff.

Defendant now demurs to the entire 1AC on the grounds it fails to plead compliance
with the Government Claims Act and it is barred by judicial immunity.

Although plaintiff filed an opposition, it fails to meaningfully respond to the legal
arguments asserted in defendant’s demurrer and fails to demonstrate that either of the
grounds for the demurrer is without merit.  Accordingly, the demurrer is sustained.

Because  plaintiff  has  now  had  two  opportunities  to  plead  her  causes  of  action,
because plaintiff has  failed  to  demonstrate how the deficiencies  noted above  may  be
cured  and   because   this   Court  concludes  plaintiff  does   not  have  a   reasonable
probability of curing the defects noted above, leave to amend is denied.

Finally, the  Court  notes  that  plaintiff  Barnes  was  declared  to  be  a  vexatious  litigant
pursuant to  a  minute order  issued  on  7/18/2013  in  Sacramento Superior  Court  Case
No. 34-2012-00130337, Barnes vs. American River College.

This minute order is effective immediately.  Pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1312, defendant
to prepare a formal order and proposed judgment of dismissal.
