CHERYL S. v. Superior Court

Opinion

VOGEL (Miriam A.), J.

In Cresse S. v. Superior Court (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 947 [58 Cal.Rptr.2d 56], Division Two of our Court gave notice to the bar that meaningful compliance with rule 39.IB of the California Rules of Court 1 is mandatory, and that vague claims of reversible error unsupported by specific factual averments will henceforth result in orders dismissing rule 39.IB petitions. We publish this opinion to give notice that Division One agrees wholeheartedly with Division Two and that we too will henceforth dismiss inadequate rule 39.IB petitions.
