Court of Appeal

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeal will listen today to administration lawyers argue that deploying the National Guard over the objections of a sitting governor is constitutional.

On Thursday, he won a Court of Appeal bid, so the case will be reheard.

He said: "We are very pleased indeed that the Court of Appeal has allowed our client's appeal, and has recognised the critical importance of listening to and assessing the voices of young people at the heart of legal proceedings that profoundly affect their lives."

If the Attorney General and Solicitor General agree the sentence appears unduly lenient, they can ask the Court of Appeal to review the sentence.

But the California Court of Appeal for the sixth appellate district disagreed, and reversed the decision Tuesday, stating in its opinion that the law as written, and intended, says that looking at and holding the phone while driving is a violation.
