Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file two opinions. In State of California v. Superior Court, the court will address whether the California Highway Patrol can be considered the special employer of a tow truck driver participating in the Freeway Service Program. In People v. Johnson, the court will decide an automatic appeal from a November 2000 judgment of death.
Both cases were argued on the court’s December calendar. After tomorrow, there will still be three cases left from that calendar without opinions, and only one regular filing day within the 90-day period. Look for opinions in those three matters — Berkeley Hillside Preservation v. City of Berkeley, People v. Mosley, and In re Taylor — to file this coming Monday morning.
The State of California and Johnson opinions can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
