Supreme Court of California

In a suit alleging various causes of action against a Catholic bishop, primarily including claims for negligence in hiring, retaining, and supervising a priest despite knowledge of his prior acts of sexual abuse, and negligent failure to protect the plaintiffs or warn them of their peril, the Court of Appeal's decision allowing the complaint to proceed is reversed, where the plaintiffs did not bring their action within the one-year revival period prescribed by a 2002 amendment to Code of Civil Procedure section 340.1.
