View this case - free  

Overview: Children of a testamentary trustor were not entitled to safe harbor under Prob.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a case in which a minor defendant admitted an allegation that she took a vehicle without the owner's permission, the juvenile court did not err in ordering an amount of restitution that exceeded the replacement value of the damaged car because the amount of restitution was specifically authorized by Welf. & Inst. Code, § 730.6.

In re Jessica C., No. F051144, No. F051283, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, May 25, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A juvenile court erred in terminating a guardianship created in a dependency action as the permanent plan for two children because the court failed to evaluate, as it was obligated to do under Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.3, whether providing maintenance services to the children's grandfather would have prevented termination of his guardianship.

View this case - free  

Overview: The California Coastal Commission was not vested with the authority to adjudicate the existence of prescriptive rights for public use of privately owned property.

People v. Gunder, C050683, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT, May 25, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a murder trial, counsel was not rendered ineffective by failing to object to a prior extrajudicial statement of a forgetful witness because the record supported a finding that the forgetfulness was feigned. There was no Confrontation Clause error because feigned memory loss was not entire refusal to testify and did not make witness unavailable.
