Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will issue three opinions. The three cases were all argued last month.
In Fahlen v. Sutter Central Valley Hospitals, the court will decide whether a physician must obtain a judgment through mandamus review setting aside a hospital’s decision to terminate the physician’s privileges prior to pursuing a whistleblower retaliation action under Health and Safety Code section 1278.5. [Disclosure: Horvitz & Levy filed an amici curiae brief supporting the defendant.]
In People v. Infante, the issue is: Did the Court of Appeal correctly determine that defendant committed independent felonious conduct that elevated his otherwise misdemeanor firearm possession to a felony and supported the charge of being an active participant in a criminal street gang in violation of Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (a)?
People v. Rodriguez is an automatic appeal from a January 2004 judgment of death.
The three opinions can be viewed online tomorrow beginning at 10:00 a.m.
