Although these pleadings are captioned as by Oliver, and purportedly signed by him, the contents do not appear to have been written by an attorney, suggesting that, as in the Singh case, he may have acted as a " 'puppet' " for Singh. (See Singh, supra, 227 Cal.App.4th at pp. 823-824, 174 Cal.Rptr.3d 131 ["Similar allegations [of puppetry] were made in two unrelated appeals, County of Sacramento v. Rawat (Feb. 24, 2014, C075383) and County of Sacramento v. Rawat (Feb. 24, 2014, C075384) (both subsequently dismissed), in which Oliver was also purportedly representing Singh. In response ... this court sent a letter to the State Bar referring the matter for investigation"].) The trial court first charitably described the cross-complaint as "an unstructured pleading," but later found it to be "unintelligible and self-contradictory and as such ... frivolous."
