The Regents of the University of Cal. v. Superior Court
Real party in interest Lucy Cervantes Watkins sued petitioner, The Regents of the University of California (the Regents), alleging she was subjected to various forms of harassment, discrimination and retaliation during her employment with the Regents. The respondent superior court granted the Regents motion for judgment on the pleadings. After entry of judgment of dismissal of the action, the respondent court issued several orders purporting to grant reconsideration of and to vacate the order granting judgment on the pleadings. Because the respondent court lacked jurisdiction to reconsider or vacate the order after entry of judgment, Court shall issue a writ of mandate directing the respondent court to set aside the orders granting reconsideration and vacating the order granting judgment on the pleadings.
