Sanai v. Saltz
Cyrus M. Sanai originally sued The U.D. Registry, Inc. (UDR)[1] and its owner, Harvey A. Saltz, in September 2000 for several torts and for violation of statutes regulating consumer credit reporting agencies based on UDR’s negative credit reports following a dispute between Mr. Sanai and his landlord over the amount of rent due for a Newport Beach apartment Mr. Sanai had leased. Notwithstanding more than 12 years of extremely contentious litigation, the case remains unresolved in the trial court.[2] In the most recent episode of this ongoing saga, on April 28, 2011 the trial court declared Mr. Sanai a vexatious litigant and prohibited him, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 391.7, from filing in propria persona any new litigation in the courts of this state without first obtaining leave of the presiding judge or justice of the court where the litigation is proposed to be filed.[3] We reverse that order.
