2016Briefly, Fahlen said this: HCQIA cannot provide blanket immunity to a hospital in a section 1278.5 action because even if HCQIA applies to a given peer review proceeding, “at a minimum” it still allows “such remedies as reinstatement and injunctive relief.” (Fahlen, supra, 58 Cal.4th at p. 686 .) Moreover—and we find this particularly significant given the anti-SLAPP procedural posture of the case before us—the Fahlen court recognized the immunity afforded by HCQIA is only presumptive and hence rebuttable: “Moreover, it allows the presumption of immunity to be rebutted by a preponderance of ev

2026(Cf. People v.

2026A “waiver of the right to self-representation may be presumed from conduct.” (People v. Kenner (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 56, 61 .) Here, when the trial court first denied the Faretta motion, the court specifically told Stortz he could “bring this motion again.” Stortz’s subsequent conduct—failing to renew his motion and proceeding to trial with court-appointed counsel— provides ample ground for a presumption of waiver of the right to self- representation in his case.

Second, and for this reason, appellant bears the burden of affirmatively establishing reversible error. ( Jameson, supra, at p. 609 .) This latter principle is “‘not only a general principle of appellate practice but an ingredient of the constitutional doctrine of reversible error.’” (Ibid.) “‘“[I]f the record is inadequate for meaningful review, the appellant defaults and the decision of the trial court should be affirmed.”’” (Ibid.)

As explained in People v. Alexander (2023) 91 Cal.App.5th 469 , because the Second Amendment extends the right to bear arms only to law- abiding citizens, convicted felons “are not among ‘the people’ who have an individual right to possess firearms under the Second Amendment.” (Id. at p. 479 [upholding sections 29800, subdivision (a)(1) and 30305 subdivision (a)(1), which bar felons

The Shadow Traffic court observed that “the thrust of the [In re Complex Asbestos Litigation] opinion is to implement the important public policy of protecting against the disclosure of confidential information and the potential exploitation of such information by an adversary.” (Ibid.) “As the purpose of this presumption is to implement the public policy of protecting confidential communications, the presumption is one affecting the burden of proof.

2023(Id. at p. 1191.) Another federal decision distinguishing procedural harm from environmental harm is Sierra Club v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (8th Cir. 2011) 645 F.3d 978 , where the court stated the “record discloses both procedural and concrete, substantive environmental harms.” (Id. at p. 995; see Fund for Animals v. Norton (D.D.C. 2003) 281 F.Supp.2d 209, 222 [when combined with irreparable aesthetic injuries, procedural harm arising from a NEPA violation bolstered plaintiffs’ claim for a preliminary injunction].)

2023(San Bernardino County Flood Control Dist. v. Grabowski (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 885, 897 .) Section 1245.255, subdivision (a) provides for “judicial review of the validity of the resolution” before commencement of the eminent domain action by petition for writ of mandate under section 1085, or after commencement of the action by objection to the right to take.

2023(E.g., San Bernardino County Flood Control Dist. v. Grabowski, supra, 205 Cal.App.3d at p. 898 .) While a presumption affecting the burden of proof and a presumption of affecting the burden of producing evidence are different, they are also related, and we see no basis for concluding that only one permits a substantive challenge to a public necessity element or the more necessary use element separate from challenging the validity of a resolution of necessity.
