Hirano v. Hiranogreen2 sentences2013Evidentiary Errors The Behrmanns contend that the trial court erred in excluding evidence that (1) Goldstein (the attorney Baker recommended) sought to obtain a conflict of interest waiver from an unrelated client in 1998; and (2) NHF later amended its application form for private charities to spell out that donors would lose "control" of their donations as well as "ownership" and "custody." Because these two exhibits do not affect our analysis, their exclusion is harmless.3 (Cf. 3 For the same reasons, the Behrmanns' post-briefing motion to strike portions of Baker's brief and their request f 2013Evidentiary Errors The Behrmanns contend that the trial court erred in excluding evidence that (1) Goldstein (the attorney Baker recommended) sought to obtain a conflict of interest waiver from an unrelated client in 1998; and (2) NHF later amended its application form for private charities to spell out that donors would lose "control" of their donations as well as "ownership" and "custody."

Estate of O'Dea

2 sentences2023(O’ Dea, supra, 15 Cal.2d at pp. 638, 639-640.) In O’Dea the Supreme Court explained that “[t]he peculiar and unusual situation arising out of the facts in [Baker] does not lay down any general exception” to the rule that appeals in probate matters are limited to the orders and judgments specified in the Probate Code; to the contrary Baker “should be construed with relation to the facts of that case, and confined to cases of similar import.” (Id. at p. 639.) The facts in O’Dea had “no similarity to those in” Baker, and therefore Baker was not controlling. 2023(O’ Dea, supra, 15 Cal.2d at pp. 638, 639-640.)

1 sentence2015Additionally, the cases cited by Santiago are easily distinguishable because in none of them did the defendants discard the items at issue “in the face of police observation, or imminent lawful detention or arrest, to avoid incrimination.” (Daggs, supra, 133 Cal.App.4th at p. 365 .)

2 sentences1971The court told the jury that “sexual intercourse between an uncle and niece by half blood is not incest.” (People v. Baker, supra, 69 Cal.2d 44 .)
