PEOPLE v. S.C. (LARA, JR.)
E067296 Fourth Appellate District, Div. 2
Opinion filed: Judgment affirmed in full
The Court of Appeal erred in rejecting the application of Estrada, supra, 63 Cal.2d 740, but it reached the correct result. Accordingly, we affirm its judgment, although not its reasoning, and lift the stay we previously imposed.
We also disapprove the Court of Appeal's opinion in this case (People v. Superior Court (Lara), supra, 9 Cal.App.5th 753), and the opinions in People v. Suarez, supra, 17 Cal.App.5th 1272; People v. Brewer, supra, 17 Cal.App.5th 471; People v. Navarra, supra, 16 Cal.App.5th 173, review granted; People v. Superior Court (Walker), supra, 12 Cal.App.5th 687, review granted; People v. Marquez, supra, 11 Cal.App.5th 816, review granted; People v Mendoza, supra, 10 Cal.App.5th 327, review granted; and People v. Cervantes, supra, 9 Cal.App.5th 569, review granted, to the extent they are inconsistent with this opinion.
