Mourn Away (Cal. Cts. - January 9, 2025)

There were some unpublished Court of Appeal opinions today, but nothing published by the Ninth Circuit, the Court of Appeal, or the California Supreme Court. Permitting you -- and me - to devote our full time to work, play, and/or officially mourning President Carter.

I'll say this. Whatever you thought of the guy -- and there are very strong opinions on that point -- I can't think of any former president who lived a classier post-office life, or one more worthy of respect for that period of time.

On the Ninth Circuit side, maybe also spend a tiny bit of time today to give a shout out, or at least some thought, to the three judges appointed by President Carter who are still amongst us and serving as senior judges: Judges Schroeder (age 84), Canby (age 93), and Dorothy Nelson (age 96).

Way to go.
