Bermudez v Ochoa, Los Angeles County Superior Court Case Number 19STCV00493.
From the Los Angeles court online case records it is Lawzilla's understanding the following occurred:
Attorney Camm Sublette is an attorney for the plaintiff in personal injury case.
During the litigation the defendant served discovery on Sublette's clients asking them to produce documents and answer written questions.
Ultimately, when no responses were provided defendant filed motions to compel.
From the online court record it does not appear that Camm Sublette, Esq., opposed the motions.
The judge granted the motions and sanctioned attorney Camm Sublette $552.30.
Despite the court order there was still no response to the discovery requests.
Defendant then filed another motion seeking sanctions.
Again, attorney Camm Sublette did not file any opposition to the motion.
The judge in a tentative ruling granted the defense motion and dismissed the lawsuit.
The judge also said Cam Sublette was going to be sanctioned another $205.40.
At the hearing for the motion attorney Sublette did not appear.
The judge then adopted the tentative ruling as the court's final ruling.
Lawzilla's Count of Total sanctions: $757.40.
Would you hire Camm Sublette as an attorney?
Based on what happened in this case - why?
He was repeatedly sanctioned.
His client's lawsuit was dismissed.
He failed to oppose sanctions motions.
He did not appear at court hearings.
There are thousands of competent attorneys in California. We suggest finding one.
Lawzilla found a California State Bar order, involving a different attorney, that being sanctioned can itself cause State Bar discipline for failing to competently perform legal services.
Camm Sublette was admitted to the California Bar in 1989. Bar Number 143277.

Sanctions are Recoverable as a Judgment - Analysis of the little known fact that sanctions awarded in a lawsuit can be enforced as their own separate judgment. Surprise someone by putting a lien on their bank account, home, wages, etc.
