California Court of Appeal

Defendants' appeal of a California judgment in favor of plaintiffs, which plaintiffs sought to enforce in New York where defendants are located, is dismissed under the disentitlement doctrine for refusal to comply with lower court orders, where the doctrine applies to noncompliance with and contempt of New York trial court orders, which noncompliance and contempt directly affect and frustrate the enforcement of a California judgment.
