Sava v. Fuller
California Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the CourtPierce, P. J.
In a wrongful death action involving the death of a child, her parents sued both the child’s attending physician for malpractice (a count not involved on this appeal), and in a separate count Thomas Fuller, Ph.D., a botanist employed by the state, two Doe defendants (not served), and the state itself.
