"At the hearing, the trial court deemed [defendant's] argument 'gamesmanship,' 'disingenuous,' and worthy of the 'chutzpah award.' The trial court commented concerning the motion [to vacate the judgment], 'When I finished reading this, I had a foul taste in my mouth and it wasn't from the old Starbucks coffee I was drinking.' " —Associate Justice Frank Y. Jackson of the Second District Court of Appeal, quoting a lower court ruling that was affirmed on appeal (Diamond Game Enterprises Inc. v. Whipple, 2009 WL 921676 at *2) Our thanks to Gary A. Watt of Walnut Creek. Do you have a quotable decision to share? Email verbatim
