California Court of Appeal July 26, 1994, B080497 (Davis v. Superior Court)

Opinion

FUKUTO, J.

Petitioner, R. Clark Davis (Davis), seeks a writ of mandate directing the superior court to set aside an order denying his motion to strike that portion of real party in interest’s complaint praying for punitive damages.

Real party, Carlos Fuentes, sued three physicians, including Davis, all of whom treated him after he was injured during the course and scope of his employment.
