In Re The People of the State of Colorado v. James Lee Justice.green1 sentence2024Cf. People v. Justice, 2023 CO 9, ¶ 34 (Courts “strive to construe statutes harmoniously, ‘so as to avoid any conflict between them.’”) (citation omitted). ¶ 56 The majority also relies on section 17-2-201(4)(b)’s statement that “[j]udicial review of any revocation of parole shall be held pursuant to section 18-1-410(1)(h),” believing it signals an implicit legislative intent to allow parolees to sidestep review by the Board’s appellate body. | 1 | 1 |

1 sentence2024But all that case holds (besides the since-overruled holding that the doctrine of ne exeat4 does not by itself create a right of custody, see Abbott, 560 U.S. at 10 ) is that patria potestas is a default doctrine and hence does not override those rights actually addressed by a valid custody agreement between the parents. | 1 | 2024–2024 |
