Maybe. Does the W-2 you received from the lawsuit reference CA in the state tax section (boxes 15-20)? If so, yes, you will need a nonresident CA return to report the California sourced income. The link has instructions if needed. @stw108
This does not apply if you are not otherwise required to file a federal tax return.
