REGULO SIERRA,

PAUL H. MELBOSTAD et al.,                                            (San Francisco City & County
                                                                     Super. Ct. No. CGC-11-516154)
         Defendants and Respondents.

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION1
         Plaintiff Regulo Sierra sued his former attorneys, defendants Paul H. Melbostad
and his law firm, for legal malpractice. The trial court sustained defendants’ demurrer to
plaintiff’s first amended complaint without leave to amend on the ground the malpractice
claims were time-barred.
         Plaintiff, in pro. per. both here and below, purports to appeal from (1) the order
sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend and (2) an order denying reconsideration
of that order.
         Neither order is appealable. (Nowlon v. Koram Ins. Center, Inc. (1991)

1459; 9 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (5th ed. 2008) Appeal, § 154, pp. 230–231, § 165,
