Dennis H. v. Michael S.green2 sentences2002The court held the ICWA was clearly applicable, inasmuch as it was clear the child was an Indian child and the termination of parental rights was at issue. ( 25 U.S.C. § 1912 (a).) The court held it was just as clear that “[t]he language of the Act makes but two exceptions: it does not apply to the custody provisions of a [dissolution] decree or to delinquency proceedings. ( 25 U.S.C. § 1903 (1).)” (Lindsay C., supra, 229 Cal.App.3d at p. 408.)

Gong v. RFG Oil, Inc.

2 sentences2015We, nonetheless, find it persuasive. 9 Gong also mentioned in passing the fact that “the dissolution claim threatens [the corporation’s] existence.” (Gong, supra, 166 Cal.App.4th at p. 216 .) As we explained above, however, this does not necessarily create a conflict. 10 Coldren filed two motions to dismiss the appeal. 2015(Gong, supra, 166 Cal.App.4th at p. 216 .) “Although [the plaintiff] has not yet filed a derivative claim seeking damages on behalf of the corporation (which [the defendants] admit would require [the firm’s] disqualification), [the plaintiff’s] complaint alleges damage to [the corporation] through [the defendant shareholder’s] personal use of corporate funds, and the dissolution claim threatens its corporate existence.” (Ibid.) Second, the corporation had filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiff for, among other things, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. | 4 | 2013–2015 |
