Is there a form that can be used by a vexatious litigant to request permission to file new litigation in a court?
A. The MC-701, Request and Order to File New Litigation by Vexatious Litigant, is a Judicial Council form. The form may be used by an individual that has been determined to be a vexatious litigant and who must obtain prior court approval to file any new litigation in which the vexatious litigant is not represented by an attorney. Filing new litigation means (1) commencing any civil action or proceeding, or (2) filing any petition, application, or motion (except a discovery motion) under the Family or Probate Code in the courts of California.
