SAN FRANCISCO — Incensed that a state appeal court ignored their express desire that a case be dismissed and, instead, issued a ruling no one liked, all parties in a class action against two insurers have joined together to do something about it.

In a rare alliance, the plaintiffs, defendants and third-party movants — all of whom had settled their disputes and wanted no ruling — have asked the California Supreme Court to depublish the offending opinion and order San Diego’s Fourth District Court of Appeal to do as they had all asked.
