Powell v. County of Orange

In Powell v. County of Orange (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 1573, the appellate court observed: "The majority of courts addressing the issue have concluded an order denying a motion for reconsideration is not appealable, even when based on new facts or law. . 'These courts have concluded that orders denying reconsideration are not appealable because "Section 904.1 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not authorize appeals from such orders, and to hold otherwise would permit, in effect, two appeals for every appealable decision and promote the manipulation of the time allowed for an appeal."' ." (Powell, at pp. 1576-1577.)
