Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, S127535, SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA, July 24, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Cal. Const., art. XIII C, § 3, did not grant local voters a right to impose a voter-approval requirement on all future adjustments of water delivery charges. Thus, a proposed initiative that would reduce water rates was properly withheld from the ballot where it included a provision to impose such a requirement.

In re Andrade, A112673, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION THREE, July 24, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although the California Board of Parole Hearings erroneously interpreted Cal. Code Regs., tit. 15, § 2402, subd. (d)(8), to require a Mexican inmate who was subject to deportation to have parole plans in both California and Mexico, denial of parole was proper because the commitment offense, second degree murder, was especially violent and brutal.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although a title insurance company brought a motion pursuant to Code Civ.

Perryman v. Superior Court, No. B187073, B187161, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION ONE, July 24, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Speedy trial motion should have been granted under Pen. Code, § 1382, because defendants' successful motion to quash a jury venire and begin jury selection again with a new panel was not a "mistrial" motion, despite defendants' initially having labeled it as such. Thus, it did not trigger a new period in which defendants could be brought to trial.
