: California Appellate Report

U.S. v. Heron-Salinas (9th Cir. - May 20, 2009)

By Shaun Martin

It's a big San Diego Day today. Only two published opinions total from the Ninth Circuit and California Court of Appeal thus far, both of which come from America's Finest City. A locale, I might add, at which it's currently sunny and 73 degrees. Per se usual.

I wish I could say the decisions today were fascinating. But I shan't lie. Here's the one from the Ninth Circuit: Is assault with a firearm a "crime of violence"? Duh. Of course it is.

We'll see what the afternoon brings. If there's nothing special, perhaps catching a couple of waves should be in the cards.

Ah, being an San Diego academic post-exams. Life is good.
