Before us, Landise asserts that the purpose of D.C.Code § 15-703 is to protect resident defendants from frivolous lawsuits filed by out-of-state plaintiffs. She argues that the trial court abused its discretion in applying the statute to her because the trial judge should have realized that although Landise is a non-resident plaintiff, Mauro is not the type of resident defendant needing protection from D.C.Code § 15-703, as demonstrated by the jury’s finding against him on the issue of liability.
