Searching Tips

When searching Forecite California, there are shortcuts you can take to find the information you are looking for:

1. By Code Section:

Forecite uses standard abbreviations for different types of codes. Those abbreviations can be found below:

Codes:
CCR California Code of Regulations
Corp C Corporations Code
EC Evidence Code
FG Fish and Game Code
GC Government Code
HN Harbors & Navigation Code
HS Health & Safety Code
PC Penal Code
RT Revenue & Tax Code
VC Vehicle Code
WI Welfare & Institutions Code

Using these codes to search is very simple. For example, if you wanted to search for Penal Code section 20, you would type PC 20 into the search box.

2. By CALJIC Number:

Since Forecite is indexed to CALJIC, searching for CALJIC numbers is easy. For example, to search for CALJIC 3.16, you would type 3.16 into the search box.

3. By Case Name or Citation:

To find a case or citation, simply enter all or part of the case’s citation. Since many cases are known only by one name involved, it is often helpful to not search for the entire citation. For example, if you were searching for references to People v. Geiger (84) 35 C3d 510, 526 [199 CR 45], you could search for People v. Geiger or just Geiger. Searching for Geiger might be more helpful since it would find references to the case that do not include the full citation.

F 18.45 n1  ATM And Credit Card Theft: Fraudulent Charges Are Necessary Element Of Crime Of Altering Access Card Account Information. 

(See People v. Steffens (98) 62 CA4th 1273 [73 CR2d 314].  [Additional briefing on this issue is available to FORECITE subscribers.  Ask for Brief Bank # B-748].)


F 18.45a

ATM Theft

 

(PC 484g)

When “ATM theft” is charged based upon use of a revoked card, the prosecution must prove that the defendant used the card knowing that it had been revoked.  In order to establish that the card has been revoked, the prosecution must present evidence that the issuer has (1) suspended or terminated the card used, and (2) written notice thereof [has] been given to the cardholder.

Points and Authorities

                (PC 484d(7); People v. Whight (95) 36 CA4th 1143, 1150 [43 CR2d 163].)

NOTES

                Presumption Of Receipt Of Mail (EC 641):  PC 484g requires that the issuer of the card has (1) suspended or terminated its use, and (2) provided written notice to the cardholder.  (See People v. Whight (95) 36 CA4th 1143, 1150 [43 CR2d 163].)  The question of whether instruction upon the presumption of receipt of mail (EC 641) impermissively lightens the prosecution’s burden of proof was recognized but not resolved in Whight.  (36 CA4th at 1150, fn 3.)

                Failure to adequately instruct the jury upon matters relating to proof of any element of the charge and/or the prosecution’s burden of proof thereon violates the defendant’s state (Art. I, § 15 and § 16) and federal (6th and 14th Amendments) constitutional rights to trial by jury and due process.  [See generally, FORECITE PG VII(C).]
