On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinions in In re A.N. and People v. Flores. (Briefs here; oral argument videos here and here.) These are the last two undecided February calendar cases. (See here.)
The questions in A.N. are: (1) Is the utilization of a school attendance review board or truancy mediation process required before juvenile court proceedings can be instituted to declare a juvenile a habitual truant? (2) Does Education Code section 48264.5 require the issuance of a fourth truancy report before commencing such a proceeding? The court granted review in July 2017. (See also here.)
Flores is an automatic direct appeal from a May 2003 judgment of death. The court’s website does not list issues for such cases. Counsel was appointed in March 2008 and initial briefing was completed in February 2014. Second supplemental briefs were filed just last summer.
The opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
