Overview: In a juvenile dependency proceeding under Welf. & Inst.

Error was not harmless because the testimony could have been useful on vigorously disputed issues, such as father's current drug use.

Overview: Defendant should only have been convicted of one violation of Pen. Code, § 484e, subd. (b), for acquiring access cards in names of four or more persons within a three month period because there could only be only one violation of the statute within any consecutive 12-month period. Thus, one of two § 484e, subd. (b), convictions had to be reversed.

People v. Lai, B165662,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION FOUR, April 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: In a welfare fraud case, the trial court should not have imposed a non-stayed two-year enhancement under Pen. Code, § 12022.6, subd. (a)(2), because Pen. Code, § 186.11, subd. (a)(3), provided for a single consecutive term calculated by reference to Pen. Code, § 12022.6, subd. (a), but not an additional term under § 12022.6, subd. (a).

COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, April 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: In a plea bargain case, counsel was rendered ineffective by failing to determine that defendant could not have been warned that his 1999 conviction under Pen. Code, § 422, would count as a strike. Absent the presumption that he was warned, the trial court might not have denied defendant's motion to strike the prior criminal threat conviction.

Overview: Granting of motion for judgment on pleading, Code Civ. Proc., § 438, against real estate broker was proper; broker did not plead wrongful conduct in support of its interference with prospective economic advantage claim because allegations of other broker's violation of realtor association's rules and Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200, were inadequate.
