prerequisite claim in California

2023Code, § 1250, subd. (a)(1)-(2).) ‘Relevant evidence is evidence “having any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action.” ’ ” 6 (People v. Riccardi (2012) 54 Cal.4th 758, 814-815 , abrogated on other grounds in People v. Rangel (2016) 62 Cal.4th 1192, 1216 .) “A prerequisite to this exception is that the declarant’s mental state or conduct be placed in issue.” (People v. Kovacich (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 863, 884 .) Defendant argues the trial court erred in admitting the evidence because its probative value was substantially

2015(People v. Jablonski (2006) 37 Cal.4th 774, 819 ; People v. Noguera (1992) 4 Cal.4th 599 , 621–622.) “[E]vidence of the decedent’s state of mind, offered under Evidence Code section 1250, can be relevant to a defendant’s motive—but only if there is independent, admissible evidence that the defendant was aware of the decedent’s state of mind before the crime and may have been motivated by it.” (People v. Riccardi (2012) 54 Cal.4th 758, 820 .) “An out-of-court statement is properly admitted if a nonhearsay purpose for admitting the statement is identified, and the nonhearsay purpose is relevant

2022(Waidla, supra, 22 Cal.4th at p. 717 .) Underlying the admissibility determination are the issues of “(1) relevance, (2) hearsay rule/state-of-mind exception, and (3) undue prejudice.” (People v. Rowland (1992) 4 Cal.4th 238, 264 .) 3.

Waidla, supra, 22 Cal.4th at p. 723 , 94 Cal.Rptr.2d 396 , 996 P.2d 46 [victim's statements indicating fear of defendants were relevant to prove lack of consent in the burglary and robbery related to her murder].) Here, the trial court properly admitted Braziel's testimony.

The fact that these properties were recharacterized as community property through valid transmutations does not defeat Husband’s reimbursement claim under section 2640; it is a prerequisite to that claim.

2021As our Supreme Court explained in Walrath, “a reimbursement right under section 2640 only arises once the property becomes community property.” (Walrath, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 920 .)

2021(Walrath, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 920 .) Similarly, the fact that separate and community property interests have been commingled in an asset does not defeat a reimbursement claim, if the separate property interest “can be traced to its separate property source.” (Cochran, supra, 87 Cal.App.4th at p. 1057 .) We understand the trial court’s statement that Duerkson “did not adequately unravel” the separate and community property interests in Windsor Way to be a factual finding that Husband did not 16 adequately trace his separate property contributions from Cebolla and Kazan to Windsor Way.

2023The defendant in Morgan was initially content to litigate the plaintiff’s Fair Labor Standards Act complaint in federal court, but after eight months filed a motion to compel arbitration under the FAA. ( Morgan, supra, 596 U.S. at pp. 414–415 [ 142 S.Ct. at p. 1711 ].) Under the waiver standard applied by the Eighth Circuit before the case reached the high court, a party does not waive arbitration unless it “knew of the right [to arbitrate]; ‘acted inconsistently with that right’; and—critical here—'prejudiced the other party by its inconsistent actions.’ ” (Id. at p. 415 [ 142 S.Ct. at p. 171

2023Agnes followed its own longstanding precedent that prejudice is required for waiver of the right to arbitrate unless there has been “ ‘judicial litigation of the merits of arbitrable issues.’ ” (Keating v. Superior Court (1982) 31 Cal.3d 584, 605 , quoting Doers, supra, at p. 188 .) The United States Supreme Court’s opinion in Morgan eliminated a showing of prejudice as a prerequisite for waiver of 10 arbitration in cases governed by the FAA and federal law.
