California Court of Appeal

BAGRATION v. SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY (PEOPLE), B166721

Unlike reciprocal Civil Discovery Act procedures, Code of Civil Procedure section 437c could not be incorporated in Sexually Violent Predators (SVP) Act proceedings without a material alteration, thus the Legislature could not have intended its inclusion.
