On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinions in Vasilenko v. Grace Family Church and People v. Wall, which were both argued on the September calendar. (Briefs here; oral argument videos here and here.)
The court hasn’t filed an opinion since August 31. (Here and here.) The 10-week gap is normal for this time of year.
In Vasilenko, the court will decide whether one who owns, possesses, or controls premises abutting a public street has a duty to an invitee to provide safe passage across that public street if that entity directs its invitees to park in its overflow parking lot across the street? (First District, Division Five, Court of Appeal Presiding Justice Barbara Jones is the pro tem.) [Disclosure: Horvitz & Levy filed an amicus brief in this case.]
Wall is an automatic direct appeal from a January 1995 judgment of death. (Second District, Division Three, Court of Appeal Justice Luis Lavin is the pro tem.)
The opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
