Dismissal of suit against eBay was affirmed and order to show cause was issued where: 1) plaintiff's claims were meritless; 2) plaintiff failed to state a claim for rescission; 3) court did not have jurisdiction over state law claims; and 4) plaintiff abused judicial process with frivolous litigation.

California Appellate Districts

Gottlieb v. Kest (07/10/06 - No. B178729)

Summary judgment for defendant based on judicial estoppel reversed where bankruptcy court did not adopt or accept the finding that the plaintiff failed to list certain claims as assets, eliminating any threat to judicial integrity. Judgment against plaintiff based on collateral estoppel is reversed where there was no privity, as plaintiff's interests in defending the cross-complaint differed significantly from the interests of his companies.
