Welch v. State Bar of California
Vickie Welch appeals from an order sustaining a demurrer to her complaint against the State Bar of California without leave to amend.[1] Apparently she had an issue with the State Bar regarding her complaint against an attorney who formerly represented her. The only document in the clerks transcript on appeal is the minute order of the trial courts ruling. It states that the demurrer is sustained on the grounds stated in open court and as fully reflected in the notes of the court reporter hereby incorporated by reference. There is no copy of the complaint, the demurrer, or any response filed by Ms. Welch. Ms. Welch did not request preparation of a reporters transcript on appeal. On appeal, she filed a request to augment the record, which was denied without prejudice. She did not renew her request to augment the record. The order sustaining the demurrer is affirmed.
