Q: How plaintiff can oppose court's decision if Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration is denied?

A: If a motion for reconsideration is denied, your option would be to appeal the decision within the statutory timeframe, which runs from the date of the denial of reconsideration, rather from the date of the initial order, but only if the order itself was appealable.

Note that the appeal will be interlocutory and under CCP 1008, if the underlying order was appealable, then the denial of reconsideration can be reviewed on appeal of that order.

A: If your motion for reconsideration has been denied in California, you have several options to challenge the court's decision.

You can file an appeal with the appropriate appellate court within the specified timeframe, which is usually 60 days from the date of service of the order denying your motion for reconsideration. The appeal should outline the legal grounds for why you believe the trial court made an error in its ruling, including any abuse of discretion, errors of law, or insufficient evidence to support the decision.

Another option is to file a writ petition, which is an extraordinary remedy seeking immediate appellate review. This can be particularly useful when waiting for a regular appeal might cause irreparable harm. However, be aware that writs are rarely granted and should only be pursued when you have compelling reasons why the normal appellate process would be inadequate. Remember to consult with a legal professional who can review your specific case details and guide you through the most appropriate course of action.
