2014The device manufacturer can be found liable if it “did not adequately warn of a particular risk that was known or knowable in light of the generally recognized and prevailing best scientific and medical knowledge available at the time of manufacture and distribution.” (Anderson v. Owens-Coming Fiberglas Corp. (1991) 53 Cal.3d 987, 1002 [ 281 Cal.Rptr. 528 , 810 P.2d 549 ]; see Rest.3d Torts, Products Liability (1998) § 6, subds. (b) & (d).) We conclude Stengel III provides the correct framework for analysis, and we are not persuaded by Medtronic’s argument that Stengel III is wrongly decided.

2016In that case, the court noted the FDA itself had found the defendant in violation of the CGMPs, suggesting that the federal regulations ‘“are not so vague that they ‘[do] not spell out standards that the court could enforce.’ ” (Bass, supra, 669 F.3d at p. 513 .) The court held the plaintiff’s reliance, in part, on the CGMPs did ‘“not preclude him from having effectively alleged a parallel claim.” (Ibid.) Again, the present case does not concern a defect occurring during the manufacturing process of the Lap-Band.

2024(Ibid.) We noted that in People v. Dickey (2005) 35 Cal.4th 884 the Supreme Court rejected the same argument with respect to the felony-murder special circumstances, holding that the requirement that the defendant aid “the commission of murder in the first degree” (§ 190.2, subd. (c)) does not mean that the defendant must aid “‘the act of killing itself, rather than just the underlying felony.’” (Lopez, at pp. 577- 578.) Rather, the felony-murder special circumstances require only that the defendant aid “a qualifying felony in which a death occurs.” (Id. at p. 578.) We concluded that the paral

2016Defendant then claims, “Reading the statutes as a whole, the correct conclusion is that Proposition 47, which reduced low-value stealing a car to a misdemeanor, was intended to create a parallel exception to the crime of receiving a low-value stolen car.” (Italics added.) However, to construe Proposition 47 to include receiving a stolen vehicle (§ 496d) would violate the 4 cardinal rule of statutory construction. “‘“When statutory language is clear and unambiguous, there is no need for construction and courts should not indulge in it.”’” (People v.

Those elements are “‘[f]irst and foremost, . . . the enactment at issue [must] be obligatory, rather than merely discretionary or permissive, in its direction to the public entity; it must require, rather than merely authorize or permit, that a particular action be taken or not taken. . . .’ Courts have

2002“As Mancari illustrates, a tribal preference is not transformed from a political to a racial classification that requires strict scrutiny merely because the vehicle for the preference consists of individual members of tribes.” (Artichoke Joe’s, supra, 216 F.Supp.2d at p. 1132 .) The Artichoke Joe’s court concluded its analysis on this point in the following passage: “Individual members are benefited not because they are Indian per se but because they are members of tribes that have entered into compacts and distributed the resulting income to their members.

Moreover, as noted above, article 42.12(20), like Penal Code section 1203.4, does not expunge or erase a person’s felony conviction from the record, but only restores to the person certain civil rights lost as a result of the conviction, We believe, therefore, that under the “penalties and disabilities” clause of article 42.12(20), as under the parallel clause of California Penal Code section 1203.4, a conviction set aside upon compl
