Castaneda v. Olsher

Opinion

WERDEGAR, J.

Defendants George Olsher, Paule Olsher and P&G Enterprises (collectively Olsher) own a mobilehome park in which plaintiff Ernest Castaneda lived. Plaintiff was shot and injured while he was a bystander to a gang confrontation involving a resident of the mobilehome across the street from his. He sued Olsher contending Olsher had breached a duty not to rent to known gang members or to evict them when they harass other tenants. The superior court granted a defense motion for nonsuit after presentation of plaintiff’s case, but the Court of Appeal reversed.
