Order 		9th Jul. 8, 2019

People v. Jacobo
Pandering under Penal Code Section 266i(a)(2) does not require that panderer intend to procure another person (i.e., victim) for third person; thus, defendant's aggravated human trafficking conviction affirmed. 		Criminal Law and Procedure 4DCA/1 Jul. 5, 2019
Center for Bio-Ethical Reform v. The Irvine Co.

The availability of state-appointed clemency counsel is irrelevant to federally appointed counsel's ongoing representation of a death-row client in state clemency proceedings. 		Criminal Law and Procedure 9th Jul. 5, 2019

Nautilus Insurance Company v. Access Medical LLC
Order 		9th Jul. 3, 2019

Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1015 v. Spokane Transit Authority
Appellant unreasonably rejected union's proposed advertisement in violation of the union's First Amendment rights; thus, district court's judgment affirmed. 		Constitutional Law 9th Jul. 3, 2019
