California Court of Appeal
Dreamweaver Andalusians v. Prudential Insurance Company of America, B253227
Dismissal of plaintiffs action for failure to join an indispensable party (the Natural Resource Conservation Service, NCRS) is affirmed, where: 1) NRCS is a necessary and indispensable party even if it is a joint tortfeasor; and 2) an appellant who seeks reversal of a trial court's discretionary ruling, as here, must demonstrate that the ruling was arbitrary, capricious, whimsical, or exceeded the bounds of reason, and plaintiff-appellants have not satisfied this exacting standard.
