Bistawros

—Baheg Bistawros (appellant) appeals from a judgment of dismissal entered after a demurrer to his complaint was sustained without leave to amend. We affirm the trial court’s judgment and impose sanctions against appellant for pursuing a frivolous appeal.

Facts

Appellant’s complaint alleges four purported causes of action against Attorney Bert Greenberg and his law firm (respondents), whom appellant hired to represent him in his quest for religious asylum in the United States. In short, the complaint alleges respondents falsified several documents in appellant’s file while hiding several other documents from him. These acts are said to have been undertaken in the furtherance of a conspiracy between respondents and the “Underground Egyptian Intelligence Agency of the Egyptian Embassy.” Additionally, it was claimed that when appellant learned that no action or inappropriate action had been taken by respondents, appellant attempted to take his original file from respondents’ office. Thereafter, appellant was illegally detained and physically mistreated when a member of respondent law firm called the police to prevent appellant’s removal of the file from the office.
