California Court of Appeal

The trial court properly sustained defendant's demurrer to plaintiff's complaint, which alleged damages from defendant's purported misconduct while acting as his guardian ad litem during a divorce proceeding, where: 1) at all times in the underlying case, defendant was acting under the supervision of an experienced family law judge; 2) the trial court properly concluded that the doctrine of quasi-judicial immunity and the litigation privilege, among other things, precluded plaintiff's claims; and 3) there are no allegations of an attorney-client relationship sufficient to hold defendant accountable for legal malpractice.
