25SMCV05503 · Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County
This page separates court findings, party filings, research classifications and public statements. Unknown or unresolved fields remain labelled as such.
Outcome reason: On July 8, 2026, the court granted the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery's motion to quash service for lack of personal jurisdiction. ASOPRS also argued that Tufano had become a vexatious litigant; the court said that request was beyond the scope of the motion to quash and would require a separate motion.
Research status: Source-backed current state docket + indexed ruling
Research notes: DocketBird's C066 exhibit list independently identifies the complaint as Exhibit T. ASOPRS argued in the July 2026 motion-to-quash proceeding that it had previously obtained a service-quash ruling in C101 and that Tufano then refiled against it. That characterization is a party argument; the court did not adjudicate a vexatious-litigant designation and expressly said a separate motion would be needed.
An indexed July 8 ruling states the court granted ASOPRS's motion to quash service for lack of personal jurisdiction. Although ASOPRS also argued that Tufano had become a vexatious litigant, the ruling states that issue was beyond the scope of the motion to quash and would require a separate motion. A separately retrieved final minute-order body has not been obtained.
