section 391.3 required to post security in California

2026(Golin, supra, 190 Cal.App.4th at p. 636 .) However, the court’s order was not limited to the security requirement pursuant to section 391.3—instead, the court also stated that it would enter a prefiling order pursuant to section 391.7, which it then did on April 18, 2024.

2025“An order determining a party to be a vexatious litigant and requiring the posting of security under section 391.3 is not directly appealable.” (Golin v. Allenby (2010) 190 Cal.App.4th 616, 635 .) Instead, it may be challenged on appeal following final judgment, which may occur when the court enters dismissal if the plaintiff fails to furnish security.

2024(Snukal v. Flightways Manufacturing, Inc. (2000) 23 Cal.4th 754, 774 .) In any event, even if we were to consider the merits of plaintiff’s appeal, we would affirm. “‘“A court exercises its discretion in determining whether a person is a vexatious litigant. [Citation.] We uphold the court’s ruling if it is supported by substantial evidence. [Citations.] On appeal, we presume the order declaring a litigant vexatious is correct and imply findings necessary to support the judgment.” [Citation.]’” (In re Marriage of Rifkin & Carty (2015) 234 Cal.App.4th 1339, 1346 .) Section 391, subdivision (b) d

2020But if the plaintiff subsequently fails to furnish security, an appeal lies from the subsequent order or judgment of dismissal that follows . . . .” (Golin, supra, 190 Cal.App.4th at p. 635 .) A prefiling order, on the other hand, is immediately appealable because it “is injunctive in nature.” (In re Marriage of Deal (2020) 45 Cal.App.5th 613 , 619 (Deal); see Rifkin, supra, 234 Cal.App.4th at p. 1347 ; § 904.1, subd. (a)(6) [“An appeal, other than in a limited civil case, may be taken from . . . [¶] . . . [¶] . . . an order granting or dissolving an injunction . . . .”].) Caron purports to ap

2026A prefiling order pursuant to section 391.7 is essentially an injunction—“it is, literally, an order requiring [the litigant] to refrain from doing a particular act—filing any new litigation [in propria persona] without certain permission.” (Luckett v. Panos (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 77, 90 [“there is no question that the prefiling order contemplated by section 391.7, subdivision (a) is an injunction”].) Because an order granting an injunction is appealable pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 904.1, subdivision 7 (a)(6), the prefiling order here is appealable.

2015But if the plaintiff subsequently fails to furnish security, an appeal lies from the subsequent order or judgment of dismissal that follows under section 391.4.” (Golin v. Allenby (2010) 190 Cal.App.4th 616, 635 [ 118 Cal.Rptr.3d 762 ] (Golin); see Childs v. PaineWebber Incorporated (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 982, 985, fn. 1, 988, fn. 2 [ 35 Cal.Rptr.2d 93 ].) The order at issue here, however, did not require Father to post security in the pending action pursuant to section 391.3, but rather subjected him to the prefiling requirements of section 391.7, under which he was prohibited from filing any
