SEEBOTH V. STATE DEPT. OF STATE HOSPITALS
— STAFF
With these general principles of statutory interpretation in mind, the trial court did not err in concluding Seeboth failed to state a cause of action because section 5325 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, which is part of the LPS Act, and Regulations, title 9, section 884, which applies to non-LPS patients, are not in conflict.
Cal. Ct. App. · affirmed
Whether the statutory right to unopened mail applies to a sexually violent predator committed to a state hospital, not just LPS patients.
