View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly granted summary judgment finding that an alleged joint venture did not exist; there was no meeting of the minds on all material points, within the meaning of Civ.

Gottlieb v. Kest, B178729, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION ONE, July 10, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment for defendant was improperly based on judicial estoppel, even though, in a prior bankruptcy case, plaintiff did not list any legal claims as assets, an omission seemingly at odds with filing of the current suit, because the bankruptcy court did not accept the truth of plaintiff's omission, eliminating threat to judicial integrity.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a case in which an inmate had been confined as an SVP pursuant to California's SVPA, the reversal of the inmate's conviction for failure to register as a sex offender did not preclude the trial court from continuing with SVP proceedings that had already begun. By the time the conviction was reversed, the SVP petition process had already begun.

Jogani v. Jogani, B181246, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION ONE, July 10, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because courts that ordered judgment debtor examinations pursuant to Code Civ. Proc., § 708.110 et seq., did not adopt or accept the truth of the judgment debtor's testimony, the doctrine of judicial estoppel could not be applied against the judgment debtor to bar a subsequent claim involving assets that he failed to disclose to his creditors.

People v. Demetrulias, S046733, SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA, July 10, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Uncharged robbery was sufficiently similar to a charged robbery murder for the uncharged crime to be admitted under Cal. Evid. Code § 1101 as relevant to defendant's intent because twice in one evening, defendant confronted an older man alone at home, inflicted serious wounds, including to the chest, and in both instances he claimed self-defense.

View this case - free  

Overview: District attorney's office should have been disqualified under Pen. Code, § 1424, because prosecutor declined to waive jury trial to avoid appearing to provide favors to defendant whose parents had been employed by prosecutor's office. Failure to disqualify was harmless because there was no showing that a bench trial would have been more favorable.
