consistent rule in California

2024(Id. at pp. 1218–1219.) 15 Quoting from the Organic Foods Act, our Supreme Court identified Congress’s express intentions as follows: “‘It is the purpose of this chapter— [¶] (1) to establish national standards governing the marketing of certain agricultural products as organically produced products; [¶] (2) to assure consumers that organically produced products meet a consistent standard; and [¶] (3) to facilitate interstate commerce in fresh and processed food that is organically produced.’” (Quesada, supra, 62 Cal.4th at p. 316 .) The court explained that a “uniform national standard for ma

2018The court highlighted the express purposes of the Organic Foods Act: " 'to establish national standards governing the marketing of' " organic food, " 'to assure consumers that organically produced products meet a consistent standard,' " and " 'to facilitate interstate commerce in' " organic food. ( Quesada, supra, 62 Cal.4th at p. 316 , 195 Cal.Rptr.3d 505 , 361 P.3d 868 .) The court found that "permitting state consumer fraud actions would advance, not impair, these goals.

2006It aptly concluded that “[ajlthough it is difficult to distill a consistent rule from these decisions regarding when a cause of action for latent construction defects accrues, ... it would be ‘manifestly unjust to deprive plaintiffs of a cause of action before they are aware that they have been injured.’ [Citation.]” (Siegel, supra, 118 Cal.App.4th at p. 1014 .) We find the reasoning of Siegel, supra, 118 Cal.App.4th 994 , to be persuasive.

1998For example, in People v. Hansen, supra, 9 Cal.4th 300, the court held the felony of discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling (Pen.

1998For example, in People v. Hansen, supra, 9 Cal.4th 300 , 36 Cal.Rptr.2d 609 , 885 P.2d 1022 , the court held the felony of discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling (Pen.Code, *16 § 246) is inherently dangerous.

1996This is consistent with the rule that `"there is no [civil] liability upon the parent unless he has had an opportunity to correct specific propensity on the part of the child, and that it is too much to hold the parent responsible for general incorrigibility and a bad disposition."' (Singer v. Marx, supra, 144 Cal.App.2d at p. 644 .) A fortiori, parents who reasonably try but are unable to control their children are not criminally negligent.

1993This is consistent with the rule that “ ‘there is no [civil] liability upon the parent unless he has had an opportunity to correct specific propensity on the part of the child, and that it is too much to hold the parent responsible for general incorrigibility and a bad disposition.’ ” (Singer v. Marx, supra, 144 Cal.App.2d at p. 644 .) A fortiori, parents who reasonably try but are unable to control their children are not criminally negligent. *575 The criminal negligence standard in regard to breach of duty thus provides notice to law-abiding parents that is consistent with and reinforces the

2024(See id. at p. 99.) This is consistent with rule 2.259(d), described above—as well as rule 8.77(e) (applicable to the appellate courts)—which equate the “endorsement of a document electronically filed” with “a manually affixed endorsement stamp . . . .” (Rule 8.77(e).) The 2016 amendment merely modernized the filed-stamp requirement; it did not eliminate it altogether. 13 Finally, Interior Specialists’ reliance on Filipescu v. California Housing Finance Agency (1995) 41 Cal.App.4th 738 is misplaced.

2022When the Legislature amends a statute that has been the subject of judicial construction, changing it only in part, the presumption is that the Legislature intended to leave the law unchanged in the aspects not amended.” (Flannery v. California Highway Patrol (1998) 61 Cal.App.4th 629, 642-643 .) These same principles of statutory interpretation apply to ballot initiatives.

2022This is consistent with the principle that “[a]n SVP may be held . . . ‘as long as he is both mentally ill and dangerous, but no longer.’ ” (People v. McKee (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1172, 1193 , italics added; see also id. at p. 1194 [“a person is committed only for as long as he meets the SVP criteria of mental abnormality and dangerousness”].) 18 legislation.

(1962) 202 Cal.App.2d 473, 477 (Corfee).) 13 This is consistent with the principle that “[t]he plaintiff’s choice of venue is presumptively correct” (Easton v. Superior Court (1970) 12 Cal.App.3d 243, 247 ), and, therefore, “[t]he moving part[y] ha[s] the burden of negativing plaintiff’s choice of venue.” (Tutor-Saliba-Perini Joint Venture v.

2014It follows that, in an appeal from a postjudgment order awarding attorney’s fees, we may review the entitlement to, as well as the amount of, the fees awarded.” (Burke, supra, 98 Cal.App.4th at p. 1055 , italics added.)10 Burke has been 10 Burke’s holding was based in part on a “policy against piecemeal appeals.” (Burke, supra, 98 Cal.App.4th at p. 1054 .)

2013(Ibid.) The Aurora Dairy court explained the purpose articulated in the OFPA, that is, ― ‗to establish national standards governing the marketing of certain agricultural products as organically produced products,‘ would be deeply undermined by the inevitable divergence in applicable state laws as numerous court systems adopt possibly conflicting interpretations of the same provisions of the OFPA and NOP.‖ (Aurora Dairy, supra, 621 F.3d at p. 796 .) Rather than achieving the congressional purpose to ― ‗assur[e] consumers that organically produced products meet a consistent standard,‘ ‖ if permi
