In the Matter of Jin Hee Ahn, an Attorney.

In the Matter of Amin Booker v. Anthony Rodriguez

Defendant tenant appealed the court's order denying his motion to reinstate his appeal of a municipal court order denying his petition to open default judgment. The court concluded that its order should be affirmed where defendant failed to timely file pleadings below, mistakenly or intentionally misrepresented filing dates to the court, and offered no meritorious legal arguments that would warrant reinstating his appeal.

Appellant appealed the trial court's judgment of sentence entered on his conviction of aggravated cruelty to an animal. The court affirmed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to convict appellant of one count of animal cruelty where he intentionally shot two dogs, only one of which had made physical contact with fenced deer that the dogs were violently harassing.

Appellant appealed the trial court's orders convicting him of two summary offenses under the Game and Wildlife Code. The court reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded to the trial court for resentencing. The court held that appellant's charge under Game Code section 2307(a) should have been dismissed where the citation failed to set out the specifics of the alleged violation. Appellant was properly convicted under section 2504(a), however, where he shot an elk within ten feet of a roadway.
