Proc., ¿¿ 861, 861.1, 862, denying leave to republish the summons was an abuse of discretion; the good cause for relief provision of Code Civ.

View this case - free  

Overview: A full consecutive sentence under Pen. Code, ¿ 667.6, subd.

View this case - free  

Overview: Denial of defendant's motion to suppress was proper where substantial evidence supported a finding that a parole search of his person, which resulted in discovery of rock cocaine, was not conducted to harass or for any other arbitrary reason, but rather for a legitimate law enforcement purpose, and was thus reasonable under U.S. Const., 4th Amend.
