Marriage of Vasek CA4/3

STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

This is an ongoing marital dissolution case. Anthony and Nancy Wahamaki Vasek (Nancy)2 were married in 2017. In June 2022, Nancy filed a petition for dissolution. She also sought a domestic violence restraining order (see Vasek v. Vasek (Apr. 19, 2024, G062023) [nonpub. opn.] (Vasek I).) The restraining order was granted. Anthony filed numerous papers and motions between June 2022 and June 2023. In June 2023, Nancy filed a motion to deem Anthony a vexatious litigant. The motion sought a prefiling order. The motion listed the following papers and motions that were meritless or used improper tactics: 1) September 15, 2022, Ex Parte Motion for Nunc Pro Tunc Order. The motion purported to include approximately 40 exhibits. The trial court declined to rule on this motion because it was not properly before the court.
