NEEDHAM (NICHOLAS) v. S.C. (PEOPLE)
G060670 Fourth Appellate District, Div. 3.
Petition for review granted
The petition for review is granted.
The requests for an order directing depublication of the opinion are denied.
Pending review, the opinion of the Court of Appeal, which is currently published at 82 Cal.App.5th 114, may be cited, not only for its persuasive value, but also for the limited purpose of establishing the existence of a conflict in authority that would in turn allow trial courts to exercise discretion under Auto Equity Sales, Inc. v. Superior Court (1962) 57 Cal.2d 450, 456, to choose between sides of any such conflict. (See Standing Order Exercising Authority Under California Rules of Court, Rule 8.1115(e)(3), Upon Grant of Review or Transfer of a Matter with an Underlying Published Court of Appeal Opinion, Administrative Order 2021-04-21; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(e)(3) and corresponding Comment, par. 2.)
