SALAZAR v. UPLAND POLICE DEP'T, No. E032557, E033447 (Cal. 4th App.
Dist. March 10, 2004)
Plaintiff's probable cause stipulation in the earlier, criminal
proceedings is admissible in this civil suit against the officers
and entities that arrested her. Summary judgment on grounds of
governmental immunity was properly granted to defendants as to each
cause of action, save one.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE, JUVENILE LAW, SENTENCING

IN RE JOSE Z., No. F042747 (Cal. 5th App. Dist. March 10, 2004)
In preserving juvenile court judges' discretion to incarcerate
nonviolent juvenile drug offenders, while removing superior court
judges' discretion to incarcerate nonviolent adult drug offenders,
Proposition 36 addresses itself to liberty interests that are
qualitatively different. Thus, it does not violate equal protection.

LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW

CHAPMAN v. ENOS, No. A097943 (Cal. 1st App. Dist. March 10, 2004)
The trial court erroneously modified the standard jury instruction
on the definition of "supervisor" for purposes of the Fair
Employment and Housing Act. Because there is little doubt that this
error led the jury to find that plaintiff's alleged harasser was not
a supervisor, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
