SUMMARY JUDGMENT – PROCEDURE/RULES – VEXATIOUS LITIGATOR – FRIVOLOUS CONDUCT: The trial court correctly granted summary judgment determining that plaintiff is a vexatious litigator and that the complaint is frivolous because plaintiff's multiple complaints all raise claims and defenses barred by res judicata, and thus, constitute vexatious conduct and frivolous conduct because the complaints merely serve to harass or maliciously injure another party and are not warranted by existing law and cannot be supported by a good-faith argument for new law or an extension, modification, or reversal of existing law.
