Lee v. Dewane
When a married couple’s dysfunctional relationship embroiled the University of California Irvine’s (UCI) executive MBA program, the program’s administrator and director, and the university’s campus police, the trial court granted an injunction under Code of Civil Procedure section 527.6[1] prohibiting one non-student spouse, Dawn Nicole Dewane, from harassing, contacting, or coming within 100 yards of student, Jinny Lee. The order also prohibited Dewane from coming onto the UCI campus without the school’s prior approval.
On appeal, Dewane challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the court’s order, its interpretation of section 527.6, a few of the court’s evidentiary rulings and the breadth and scope of the order. Only the last point has merit and we modify the stay away order to impose the least restrictive burden on Dewane’s livelihood. As modified, the order is affirmed.
