No. 1472.
October Term, 1896.
APPEAL from the District Court of the State of Nevada, Eureka county; A. L. Fitzgerald, District Judge:
Action by Irene M. Robinson against Henry Kind and Eugene Howell to set aside a trust deed and for an injunction. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, defendants appeal. Reversed.
Thomas Wren, for Appellants:
I. This action was brought to set aside a so-called trust deed, executed by the plaintiff and James A. Church and E. D. Church to the defendant, H. Kind. The Churches were not made parties to the action. To the complaint, the defendants, Howell and Kind, demurred upon the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and upon the ground that there was a defect of parties defendant. The demurrer was overruled, and the court proceeded to try the case, and in due time rendered a decree in favor of plaintiff and against the defendants, Kind and Howell.
II. There was clearly a defect of parties defendant. The Churches were the principal parties in interest, and the demurrer should have been sustained upon the ground that there was a defect of parties defendant. (Gen. Stats. 3036, 3039; Settembre v. Putnam, 30 Cal. 490; Wilson v. Lassen, 5 Cal. 114.)
III. Power was vested in Howell to manage, preserve and sell the joint property of the plaintiff and the Churches with a view to the payment of the expenses of caring for and preserving the property, a matter in which the Churches were vitally interested and over which Kind had no control and no interest. The agreement constituted Howell the agent of plaintiff and the Churches to manage, preserve and sell the property. The court had no jurisdiction to cancel and set aside this agreement, and enjoin Howell, the agent of the Churches, from managing and preserving the property for the Churches without bringing the Churches into court.
IV. It appeared upon the face of the complaint that the Churches were parties absolutely necessary to a full and final determination of the rights of the parties to the agreement or trust deed. The agreement was made a part of the complaint, and it was the duty of the court to order the Churches to be brought in upon an inspection of the complaint and error to fail to do so without demurrer.
Robt. M. Clarke, for Respondent:
I. The action being to revoke a trust; the cestui que trusts, or beneficiaries, were not necessary parties. They were represented by the defendants, who were their trustees and who defended the trust for them. (Pomeroy's Rem. and Rem. Rights, sec. 357; Foster's Fed. Pr., 117; Kerrison v. Stewart, 92 U. S. 155; Storey's Equity Pl. 150, note a; 61 Geo. 599; 10 Saw. 415; 39 Ark. 70; 4 Minn. 313; 113 U. S. 340; Vetterlein v. Barnes, 124 U. S. 169.)
II. By answering the complaint and going to trial, the demurrer for defect of parties was waived. (Bliss, Code Pleading, 417; Lonkey v. Wells, 16 Nev. 27, 275; 1 Cal. 206, 470, 481; 47 Mo. 459; 10 Ohio, 409; 30 Iowa, 222; 23 Ark. 530.)
The facts sufficiently appear in the opinion.
By the Court, BONNIFIELD, J.:
This action was brought to have a certain instrument and deed of trust annulled and canceled, and the defendants and each of them perpetually enjoined from asserting or acting or claiming under the same, from leasing, operating, encumbering or in any manner disposing of, using or selling the property mentioned in said instrument or any part thereof. The deed or instrument was executed on August 2, 1892, by James A. Church and E. D. Church and Irene M. Robinson, parties of the first part, to Henry Kind, party of the second part, and conveyed to him, and to his heirs and assigns, certain real estate and personal property therein described, and by its terms "in trust for the said parties of the first part upon the terms and conditions herein specified; * * * to have and to hold all and singular the said hereinbefore granted and described premises unto the said Henry Kind, his heirs and assigns, upon the trust, nevertheless, and to and for the uses and purposes hereinafter limited, described and declared, that is to say: Upon the sale of any or all of said property, the proceeds thereof shall be applied: first, to the payment of the mining expenses incurred upon said property, the wages of a watchman and taxes, and upon the claim of Eugene Howell against said parties of the first part for services and salary up to May 31, 1892, as the same appears charged upon the hooks of Robinson, Church Co., but the amount not to exceed $4,100; said Eugene Howell to have charge of the property as manager as heretofore, and to work, sell or lease all or any of said property, as he may deem best, and for the best interests of the respective parties, but to receive no compensation for his services. Said Eugene Howell to keep a correct set of books of all receipts from said property and all expenditures thereon, and to furnish said party of the second part vouchers for all moneys expended upon said property. Whenever said Eugene Howell shall be paid in full and all other payments shall be made as hereinbefore described and provided, said party of the second part shall reconvey unto said parties of the first part all or any of said properties that remain unsold, one-half to said Irene M. Robinson and one-half to said James A. and E. D. Church, said Irene M. Robinson hereby releasing any and all claims she may have against said James A. and E. D. Church in consideration of the conveyance of one-half of said property to her as aforesaid."
Complaint: The plaintiff by her complaint alleges, in substance and in brief, that at the time she executed said deed and instrument, she was the owner of the property therein described; that she was then sick in both body and mind and was non compos mentis and had not the capacity to manage said property or to transact any business concerning the same; and that particularly she was mentally incapacitated to make and execute or comprehend the meaning of said instrument; that said defendants, and each of them, well knowing the premises and fully advised concerning the plaintiff's said physical and mental ailments and her inability to take care of said property, and well knowing that plaintiff did not understand or comprehend and had not mental capacity to legally execute the deed of trust and power annexed thereto, did, on the 2d day of August, 1892, knowingly, falsely and fraudulently and without consideration and with intent, etc., cause and procure the plaintiff to make, execute and deliver the said conveyance of her aforesaid real and personal property mentioned and described in said deed of trust, etc., and caused and procured the plaintiff by the deed and instrument aforesaid falsely, fraudulently and knowingly, etc., to appoint said defendant, Eugene Howell, to have charge of said property as manager to work, sell and lease all or any part thereof as he might deem best and apply the proceeds, etc., and when said Howell should be paid and all other payments provided for in said instrument should be made, to convey the said property or the portion thereof remaining, one-half to the plaintiff, Irene M. Robinson, and one-half to James A. Church and E. D. Church. It is also alleged in the complaint that the defendants are proceeding to execute the terms and provisions of said false and fraudulent instrument; that they have taken possession and now have possession and control of the said property under said instrument and have advertised for sale at public auction said property, etc. The said deed of trust or instrument is annexed to the complaint and made part thereof.
Demurrer and Answer: The defendants demurred to the complaint, one of the grounds of which was that it appears upon the face of said complaint that there is a defect of parties defendant, in that James A. Church and E. D. Church are necessary parties defendant. The demurrer was overruled, and the defendants answered, denying each material allegation of the complaint specifically and denied that the plaintiff was the sole owner of the property described, and alleged that she was the joint owner of said property with James A. Church and E. D. Church, and that at the time the trust deed was executed by the plaintiff she well knew that said Churches were the joint owners of said property with said plaintiff. And they alleged "that there is a defect of parties defendant to said action; that said James A. Church and E. D. Church are necessary parties defendants in said action."
Judgment and Decree: The case was tried by the court without a jury, and resulted in a judgment and decree in favor of the plaintiff to the effect "that the said deed of trust mentioned and described in the complaint in this action is fraudulent and void and set aside as against the said plaintiff, Irene M. Robinson. And the said defendants, Eugene Howell and Henry Kind, and each of them, are hereby perpetually enjoined from claiming, holding or asserting any title or right or in exercising any power or authority over or concerning the said property mentioned and described in said deed, and from making, executing or delivering any conveyance of said property, or any portion thereof, and from selling, delivering or otherwise disposing of said property, or any part thereof, and from in any manner interfering with said property or with the use and enjoyment thereof." Judgment was given against the defendants for plaintiff's costs, taxed at $77 35. The defendants appeal from the decree and judgment.
Contention: Counsel for appellants contends that James A. Church and E. D. Church are necessary parties defendant; that they are the principal parties in interest, and contends in substance that the court erred in overruling the demurrer and in proceeding with the trial of the case and rendering the judgment and decree therein without acquiring jurisdiction over said necessary parties defendant.
Authorities: "It seems to be well established by the authorities as a general rule in equity, subject to certain exceptions, that all persons materially interested, either legally or beneficially, in the subject matter of a suit, are to be made parties to it, either as plaintiffs or as defendants, however numerous they may be, so that there may be a complete decree which shall bind them all." (Story, Equity Plead., 9th ed., sec. 72, and note 4; secs. 75, 76.) "Where a person has a direct interest in the subject matter of the suit, his rights will be affected by the final decree, and he is a necessary party." ( Richards v. Richards, 9 Gray, 313, 315.) "A person is a necessary party to a suit when no decree in relation to the subject matter of the litigation can be made until he is properly before the court as a party; or where the defendants in the suit have such interest in having such person before the court as would enable them to make the objection if he were not a party." ( Bailey v. Inglee, 2 Paige, 278.) "If the interest of the absent parties may be affected or bound by the decree, they must be brought before the court, or it will not proceed to a decree." (Story, Equity Plead., 9th ed., sec. 137.) "If the defendants actually before the court may be subjected to undue inconvenience, or to danger of loss, or to future litigation or to a liability, under the decree, more extensive and direct, than if the absent parties were before the court, that of itself will, in many cases, furnish a sufficient ground to enforce the rule of making the absent persons parties." (Id., sec. 338.)
The defendants Kind and Howell, and each of them, may be subjected to future litigation by said James A. and E. D. Church, to enforce the trust and to account for said property and their stewardship thereof, and the said Howell may be defeated in the collection of his said claim as against said Church Church if he fail to use all reasonable diligence to collect the same out of the proceeds of said property. In any such suits between the defendants and the Churches the judgment and decree in this case could not avail them for any purpose. It appears by the complaint that the said James A. and E. D. Church have a direct interest in the subject matter of the suit, that their interest under the said instrument is identical with that of the plaintiff, with the additional interest therein of having the release, made by the plaintiff of all and any claim she may have against them, completed and made effective by a conveyance to her by defendant Kind of one-half of all or any of said property that remains unsold, as provided in said instrument, after the payments therein named are made, out of the proceeds of said property.
Effect of Decree: The decree annuls said instrument as to the plaintiff; takes the property out of the hands and control of the trustee, Henry Kind, and the agent, Eugene Howell, who are made by said instrument the trustee and agent, respectively, of the said James A. and E. D. Church and the plaintiff, the beneficiaries of said trust, and it puts the same into the hands and control of the plaintiff; it perpetually restrains the defendants, as such trustee and agent, or otherwise, from in any manner interfering with said property or with the use and enjoyment thereof. It in effect ousts said James A. and E. D. Church of said property, and strips them of all their rights and interests therein. It seems that it was intended that the decree should have such effect. The plaintiff claims in her complaint to be the owner of said property, and her counsel argues and contends as matter of law that the action, being to revoke a trust, the cestuis que trust or beneficiaries were not necessary parties; that they were represented by the defendants, who were their trustees, and who defended the trust for them. The contention is to the effect that in law James A. and E. D. Church, being beneficiaries, the defendants as trustees defended for them; that this being an action to revoke the trust, they represented said Churches and bound them in the action, and that their interest in the said deed and instrument and property is concluded by said decree. But we cannot agree with counsel in his theory of the law. The said trustees do not represent the said two beneficiaries, Church, in any greater degree or for any other purpose than they represent the other beneficiary, the plaintiff, and cannot bind the former any more than the latter by anything they may or can do by virtue of their powers or relations as trustees.
In Cases of Trusts: Story, in his Equity Pleadings (9th ed., sec. 207), gives the general rule as to parties in cases of trusts as follows: "The general rule in cases of this sort is, that in suits respecting the trust properly brought by or against the trustees, the cestuis que trust, or beneficiaries, as well as the trustees, are necessary parties. The trustees have the legal interest, and, therefore, they are necessary parties. The cestuis que trust, or beneficiaries, have the equitable and ultimate interest to be affected by the decree, and, therefore, they are necessary parties." "If there are divers cestuis que trust all of them should be made parties to a bill touching the common interest." (Id., sec. 210, note 2.) "In contests respecting property held in trust, where the interests of the cestuis que trust stand opposed to the right set up by the complainant, the cestuis que trust are necessary parties." ( Prokaw v. Prokaw, 41 N. J. Eq. 216; Tyson v. Applegate, 13 Stev. Eq. 305.) "It is undoubtedly a general rule that in suits respecting trust property, brought either by or against trustees, the cestuis que trust are necessary parties." ( Boyden v. Partridge, 2 Gray, 194; Northampton National Bank v. Crafts, 145 Mass. 447.) In an action by a beneficiary against the trustee when the right asserted, if it exists at all, is also held by all other parties similarly situated with the one who sues, and the decision would in fact determine all their rights, the equitable doctrine primarily requires that the beneficiaries should unite as plaintiffs, but if any refuse to join they should be made defendants, in order that the trustee may not be subjected to a multiplicity of suits when the whole controversy could be decided in one. (Pomeroy, Rem. and Rem. Rights, sec. 355.) In harmony with the above rule, it was held in Dillon v. Bates, 39 Mo. 292, that, "in a suit in equity brought by one distributee of an estate against the administrator to set aside a settlement on the ground of fraud, all the distributees must be made parties either as plaintiffs or defendants to avoid a multiplicity of suits and to enable the court to make a complete and binding decree." In the case at bar we are of opinion that a multiplicity of suits cannot be avoided, and that a complete and binding decree cannot be made as to all the parties directly interested without the said two other beneficiaries being brought into court by being made parties.
Statute Provision: By Gen. Stats., sec. 3039, it is provided: "The court may determine any controversy between parties before it, when it can be done without prejudice to the rights of others or by saving their rights; but when a complete determination of the controversy cannot be had without the presence of other parties, the court must order them to be brought in." * * * In Pomeroy's Remedies and Remedial Rights (2d ed., sec. 419), the author, in commenting upon the above provision, found, perhaps, in all the codes, says: "If there are other persons, not parties, whose rights must be ascertained and settled before the rights of the parties to the suit can be determined, then the statute is peremptory; the court must cause such persons to be brought in; it is not a matter of discretion, but of absolute judicial duty. The enforcement of this duty does not rest entirely upon the parties to the record. If they should neglect to raise the question and to apply for the proper order, the court, upon its own motion, will supply the omission, and will either directly bring in the new parties, or remand the cause in order that the plaintiff may bring them in." Where, then, a case comes under the above rule as to parties, the defect is not waived by the defendant answering to the merits. The contention of counsel that, by answering the complaint and going to trial, the demurrer of the defendants on the ground of defect of parties was waived, is not tenable. "Under some circumstances a trustee may represent his beneficiaries in all things relating to their common interests in the trust property. He may be invested with such powers and subjected to such obligations that those for whom he holds will be bound by what is done against him as what is done by him. If he has been made such a representative, it is well settled that his benificiaries are not necessary parties to a suit by him against strangers to enforce the trust, or to one by a stranger against him to defeat it in whole or in part." ( Kerrison v. Stewart, 93 U. S. 155; see p. 160.) And so it is held in effect in other cases cited by counsel for respondent.
But these authorities are not applicable to this case; this is not a suit by the trustee against a stranger to enforce the trust, nor is it a suit by a stranger against the trustee to defend the trust, besides defendant Kind, the trustee, was not invested with such powers and subjected to such obligations that the beneficiaries Church will be bound by what was done against him in this action. His powers and obligations under the deed are very limited.
The judgment and decree of the trial court must be reversed, and it is so ordered.
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING.
The respondent has petitioned for rehearing. The opinion given on appeal will be found above. The statement of the case or the authorities heretofore cited need not be repeated here. Counsel for petitioner admits the correctness of the general rules noted in that opinion as to necessary parties, but strenuously urges that the case at bar comes within the exceptions to the general rules, and as an exception he cites Story's Eq. Plead., sec 78, wherein the author says: "Hence it is a common rule of the court, that when a person who ought to be made a party is out of the jurisdiction of the court, if the fact is stated in the bill, and admitted by the answer, or proved (if denied) at the hearing, that of itself constitutes a sufficient ground for dispensing with his being made a party, and the court will proceed to a decree without him." Counsel contends that the suit at bar is "not a proceeding in rem, but in personam; that it is not a suit against the property, but a suit against the person." That "the suit being in equity and in personam and the Churches being absent from the state and residents of the state of New York, they could not be brought in because beyond the reach of the state's process and without its jurisdiction." Counsel cites Pennoyer v. Neff, 95 U. S. 714; Hart v. Sansom, 110 U. S. 151, and several other cases.
We might dispose of this point by simply noting the fact that it does not appear by the bill or complaint, or otherwise by the record, that the Churches are out of the jurisdiction, of the court. "Where the party is out of the jurisdiction, that fact should be positively averred in the bill, and not left to mere inference." ( Penfold v. Nunn, 5 Sim. 408; Story, sec. 78.) But the residence of a person out of the state who ought to be joined in a suit does not justify the omission to make him a party.
Gen. Stats., sec. 3052, provide for service of the summons by publication on a non-resident person who is a necessary or proper party to the action. (Barbour on Parties, 333.) In the cases of Hart v. Sansom and Pennoyer v. Neff, supra, it is held in effect that if the court which enters the decree or judgment in a given case is authorized to act therein in personam only, it acquires no jurisdiction by publication to grant relief. That rule is well settled, and that is the full extent to which it can be said the authority of these decisions go.
In Arndt v. Griggs, 134 U. S. 316, Mr. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court, and in an elaborate review of the authorities says: "A state may provide by statute that the title to real estate within its limits shall be settled and determined by a suit in which the defendant being a non-resident is brought into court by publication. The well-settled rules that an action to quiet title is a suit in equity; that equity acts upon the person, and that the person is not brought into court by service by publication, do not apply when a state has provided by statute for the adjudication of titles to real estate within its limits as against non-residents who are brought into court only by publication."
In the case of Pennoyer v. Neff, supra, on which case counsel for petitioner seems to rely with confidence as authority for his contention that the Churches cannot be reached by publication, the court, by Mr. Justice Field, says: "Such service may answer in all actions which are substantially proceedings in rem. * * * It is true that, in a strict sense, a proceeding in rem is one taken directly against the property, and has for its object the disposition of the property, without reference to the title of individual claimants, but in a larger and more general sense the terms are applied to actions between parties, where the direct object is to reach and dispose of property owned by them or of some interest therein. * * * So far as they affect property in the state, they are substantially proceedings in rem in the broader sense which we have mentioned."
In Hart v. Sansom, cited by counsel, the court said: "It would doubtless be within the power of the state in which the land lies to provide by statute that if the defendant is not found within the jurisdiction, or refuses to make or to cancel a deed, this should be done in his behalf by a trustee appointed by the court for that purpose."
In Arndt v. Griggs, supra, the court, after quoting the above from Hart v. Sansom, says: "And, of course, it follows that if a state has power to bring in a non-resident by publication for the purpose of appointing a trustee, it can, in like manner, bring him in and subject him to a direct decree."
There are numerous decisions, both of the federal and state courts, to the effect that the state has power through its legislature and courts to dispose of or control property in the state belonging to non-resident owners out of the state where such non-resident owners will not voluntarily surrender jurisdiction of their person to the state, or the courts of the state, and that the owners thereby may be totally deprived of their property, although no notice is ever given to such owners, except notice by publication. ( Arndt v. Griggs, supra, and cases therein cited.)
Section 3040, Gen. Stats., provides that actions "for the recovery of real property, or of an estate or interest therein, or for the determination in any form of such right or interest," shall be tried in the county in which the subject of the action or some part thereof is situated, subject to the power of the court to change the place of trial.
Actions to set aside fraudulent conveyances of real estate are held to belong to the above class and may be prosecuted against a non-resident by publication. ( Adams v. Cowles, 85 Mo. 501; 8 S. W. Rep. 711; Chicago and A. Bridge Co. v. The Anglo-American Packing Co., 46 Fed. 584; McLaughlin v. McCrory, 55 Ark. 442; 18 S. W. Rep. 762; Works on Courts and Their Jurisdiction, 270; Jones, McDowell Co. v. Fletcher, 42 Ark. 422.)
The suit at bar is brought to cancel a deed of conveyance of real and personal property situated in Eureka and White Pine counties, Nevada, and revest the title in the plaintiff, and is an action in part under the above authorities, "for the recovery of real property, or of an estate or interest therein," and necessary parties defendant may be brought in by publication. The court has like power as to the personal property. "If the state court has such power with reference to title to real estate held by non-residents, how much the more will it have the same with reference to personal property situate within its jurisdiction?" ( Loaiza v. Superior Court, 85 Cal. 11.)
Where a court of equity is empowered to cancel a deed and establish title to land within its jurisdiction by mere force of its decree, to that extent its action is in rem. ( 55 Ark. 442, supra.)
In Galpin v. Page, 3 Saw. 124, the court held that proceedings which are in form personal suits, but which seek to subject property brought by existing lien, or by attachment, under the control of the court, and those who seek to dispose of property or relate to some interest therein, but which touch the property or interest only through the judgment recovered, while not strictly proceedings in rem, so far as they affect property in the state, are treated substantially as such proceedings.
In Pennoyer v. Neff, supra, the court says that substituted service by publication may answer in all actions which are substantially proceedings in rem.
The case at bar is substantially a proceeding in rem. Its direct object is to reach and dispose of the property of the parties described in the complaint. The decree of the trial court is substantially a decree in rem. The court, by mere force of its decree, annulled the deed of conveyance and vested the title to the property in the plaintiff.
Having heretofore fully considered and passed upon the other questions presented by the petition for rehearing, and finding no reason or authority to induce us to change our former opinion, the petition is denied.
In Robinson v. Kind, 23 Nev. 330, 47 P. 1, 977, it was held upon full authority that an action to cancel a deed to real and personal property is an action for the recovery of real property or of an estate or interest in it, or for the determination of such right or interest, and while not strictly a proceeding in rem, is so far as it affects property in the state to be treated substantially as such proceeding.

Well, I had to get this art blog started somehow, and I had to get into writing about art again somehow, so here goes.
On Saturday I squeezed in Isabelle Cornaro at South London Gallery and the Peter Paul Rubens show at the Royal Academy (which I'd never visited before in the flesh, you'll be astonished to hear). There were various other artists represented at that exhibition as part of a 'Rubens' legacy' room or something to that effect - Renoir, Cezanne and Auerbach among them.
The Moran and Hodgkin shows were the ones that I was most eager to see. I'd seen Moran's exhibition nearer to home, at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima) back in 2008, so there was a sense of getting reacquainted with some old friends, but the new show did also extend up to what has been a decade of her practice since her 2005 graduation from the RCA.
She does appeal to the 'thing' I have for extremely painterly artists that skirt between the figurative and abstraction in various interesting ways, and it's all of those 'rustic' and idiosyncratic touches - like the bubbles on the surface of the dried acrylic - that I love getting up close to most. There's a sense of deliberation about what she does - she's obviously not just doing random abstractly painterly stuff, which is even clearer in her newer output that I hadn't yet seen, where there are elements of collage and experimentation with alternative materials and the 'frame' of the painting that are really quite intricate. Maybe I don't respond to these newer pieces quite so much, but I'm a fan of the fact that she's doing them.
As for the Hodgkin show... well, I found the venue easily enough from Oxford Street, although I missed the door a good few times while some bystander made what must have seemed like doomed attempts to get me pointed in front of the right panel of glass. These new paintings were all a bit underwhelming really, not necessarily in and of themselves, but more as it was only a modest display space and there were so few of them.
That said, I'm looking at the Gasgosian website now about this show - Indian Waves - and there were apparently 30 gouaches, so I'm now wondering whether there were several more rooms that I didn't realise existed. Maybe I should have walked around the building and I'd have found where the catalogues were being sold, as I wouldn't have minded a copy? Bleh!
Anyway, thanks for reading my first substantial piece of art writing for years! The blog's all very informal and note-like to begin with as I get back into art blogging, but now it's up to me to keep the darned thing regularly updated as I take you through the arty events that I visit, accompanied by reflections on my own practice... which I hope to introduce you in the richest detail in the weeks and months to come!


We always receive far more entries than we have room to accommodate in the Cosplay Contest so, in the spirit of fairness, we accept contestants into the contest on a first-come, first-served basis. By pre-registering you guarantee yourself a spot in the Cosplay Contest. Attendees who pre-register also have priority in prejudging appointments and have the ability to book their prejudging appointment before the convention. While we still offer on-site registration during the convention weekend, those spots go fast! If you know you want to enter the contest, pre-registering is the way to go!
Anime Blues Cosplay University has developed the following guidelines to adhere to the International Costuming Guild's guidelines for ensuring fair competition. By aligning with these established standards, we hope to make cosplayers of all skill levels feel more comfortable and welcome in our annual contest!
ABCU maintains skill and experience-based divisions in order to ensure that both novice and experienced cosplayers have a reasonably equal chance to win one of the big competitive awards given in the contest.
Professional costumers (defined as anyone who earns revenue from making costumes) may not enter in the Journeyman division.
A contestant who has competed and won in the Master division in a cosplay competition may not enter in the Journeyman division.
A contestant who has won "Best in Show" or "Best Journeyman" in a cosplay competition may not enter in the Journeyman division.
Minor awards may be counted towards placement at the discretion of the cosplayer.
Professional costumers (defined as anyone who earns revenue from making costumes) may not enter in the Novice division.
A contestant who has competed and won in any division other than Novice in a cosplay competition may not enter in the Novice division.
A contestant who has won "Best in Show" or "Best Novice" in a cosplay competition may not enter in the Novice division.
Awards won at regional competitions may be counted towards division placement at the discretion of the cosplayers and the Director.
Minor awards may be counted towards placement at the discretion of the cosplayers.
A child wearing a costume designed and built entirely by an adult should be entered either in the adult's appropriate skill division or entered as an exhibition (non-competitive) piece.
Children are considered 12 and younger for the sake of this competition.
Due to the various levels of craftsmanship skill and experience that may exist within a single group entry, ABCU does not maintain an major group award. It is possible for a group to win the major award "Best in Show" but for this condition to exist, every costume worn by the members of the group must have been made by at least one member of the group. Having one group member in a commissioned costume will make the group ineligible for any Major craftsmanship-based awards. However, it is possible for individual members within the group to win a major craftsmanship award.
The ABCU Cosplay Contest operates under the principle "Excellence Deserves Award". What this means is that we want to recognize all instances of excellence in craftsmanship. If an entry shows merit, it should receive an award.
ABCU maintains two classes of awards: Major and Minor. Major awards affect future division placement. These awards are classified as "Best in Show" or "Best in Class." Minor awards do not affect future division placement. They include any "runner-up," Judge's Choice, and non-Craftsmanship based awards.
This award is granted to outstanding craftsmanship in the Junior/Youth. While this award is designed to recognized a single outstanding youth contestant, all youth participants receive a certificate for participating in the contest. Winning this award will not affect future placement.
These awards are granted to competitors based on the "Excellence Deserves Award" principle. While contestants may not have necessarily achieved the highest aggregate score in their divisions, judges may choose to grant these award based on other criteria. All contest participants are eligible for minor awards, including Exhibition entries. Winning these awards will not effect future placement.
ABCU no longer maintains a fixed list of minor awards.
Contestant costumes are expected to adhere to Anime Blues Con established Safety and Weapons policies.
Contestants are expected to provide some kind of visual documentation for their costume. A reference photo is required for all contestants submitting to prejudging. Progress photos taken during the construction of the costume are not required but are highly encouraged. Contestants who registered for pre-judging online can submit their photos with their application and do not need to provide them again at the convention. It is the policy of ABCU not to print out reference photos for contestants. Using an image on a cell phone for a reference is frowned upon but may be considered in extenuating circumstances with the approval of the Director. Due to the use of the reference photos as guides for the judges who may not be familiar with the character, it is strongly encouraged that these pictures be both clear and in color.
Contestants are responsible for keeping up with their own personal belongs. ABCU and Anime Blues Con personnel cannot secure personal items for contestants. They are advised to leave anything of value somewhere safe or with someone they trust.
While it is ABCU's policy to try to reach an amicable solution to any challenges during the Cosplay Contest, the department does maintain certain conditions in which a contestant may become disqualified, banned from future competitions, and escorted off of the convention floor.
Contestants who are found to have purposely misled the judges on either the construction of their costume or on their level of experience and skill in order to compete in a lower-division will be immediately disqualified. In the cases where this is not discovered until after the competition has ended, the contestant will be banned from participating in future ABCU Cosplay Contests.
Contestants who are found to have presented a commissioned costume or a store-bought, mass-produced costume as a constructed costume will be immediately disqualified. In the cases where this is not discovered until after the competition has ended, the contestant will be banned from participating in future ABCU Cosplay Contests.
Any contestant displaying physical or verbally abusive behavior to any ABCU Staff members and Volunteers, Anime Blues Con general staff and volunteers, judges, other competitors, or convention attendees will be disqualified, dismissed from the Cosplay Contest, and banned from future competitions. Extremely serious infractions will result in having convention membership revoked and being escorted off the premises.
Any contestant who fires a projectile from the stage during the Cosplay Contest without the expressed permission and pre-approval of the ABCU Director will be disqualified.
Contestants are discouraged from performing any acrobatics on stage for safety reasons. This includes but is not limited to flips, kicks, and high jumps. Performing a maneuver that was not approved by the ABCU Director may result in a disqualification.
The Director and other executive level Anime Blues Con staff maintain the right to dismiss and disqualify contestants for reasons that are not expressly listed here.


In what was described by many as "a great day in the Bronx," the Settlement Housing Fund, a non-profit organization, began construction on its New Settlement Community Campus in the Mt. Eden neighborhood. Located on Jerome Avenue between West 172nd Street and Globe Place, the site will include a pre-K – 12th grade public school, community center, and a state-of-the-art indoor swimming facility.
Pricilla Henegen, a 19-year resident of the neighborhood, who plans to send her grand niece to the school, could not contain her excitement for the new complex. "I wish they had it when I moved in," she said.
The project is expected to be completed by 2012 and create over 1,000 new seats for students in a neighborhood characterized by overcrowded schools. The Department of Education will own the school, but New Settlement Apartments (located adjacent to the site and a project of the Settlement Housing Fund) will provide facilities management for both the school and community center. Total development costs for the school, center, and pool are estimated to be $83 million.
New Settlement Apartments' executive director, Jack Doyle, credits the collaboration of several government and private funding sources for the realization of the complex in a community that has been the scene of many rehabilitation efforts on the part of the organization over the past twenty years. Since 1987 the Settlement Housing Fund has been running affordable housing buildings and offering youth and parental development programs to the community.
What is this, Maria Baez trying to catch up - 36 days before september 15...give me a break.
Well, considering that she's not around much, she's got to do her campaigning before she goes back to Pennsylvania.
I think Maria Baez has super powers. She manages to make two public events in one day and I have yet to see her walk in or out of her "Home" on Davidson.
Oh Mr.Bond....if only you were half as good as the real one...Yudelka has been present at many events, here are some...just to name a few. Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade, Bronx Dominican Day Parade, National Night Out in the Bronx(which she donates food every year to)several Health Fairs in the 14th district, Kingsbridge Armory Rallies,and Bronx Borough President's Public Haering on the Armory. She is very present in the communtiy. She indeed likes to meet Bronxites and tell them about her candidacy.SO STOP SPREADING LIES YOU CABRERA FANATIC. I heard that Cabrera was FORGETTING to tell Bronxites that he was a registered Republican for 20+ years, or was it 30+???? Can you clear that up for me MR.BOND? Anywho.. do your research. This is a good place to start. www.yudelkatapia.com, there are many photos of yudelka at these events, whereas I have yet to see Cabrera at any local events, except the Bronx Dominican Day Parade ofcourse. Careful what you wish for, and best of luck..you're gonna need it.
It is so dissapointing that many of you bloggers just don't stay focus on message. The article is about the fact that there will be a new school and community center coming to our community and you all have decided to try to focus on Baez.
If any of you were at the event you would have heard that Baez allocated $1 Million to the project, which is a good thing. I too was suprised to see her at the event, but was glad to know that she did contribute to the project.
Our community needs more projects like these. Mt. Hope Community Center just had their grand opening last month, now New Settlement. This is good for our community. For those of you who continue to focus on negative comments. Please inform us of what you contributed to any of these projects?
Both of the above mentioned projects will benefit the 14th Council District. That is a good thing.
i dont care, she she is just doing it for political gain, DUh! Vote Cabrera, he is the man for the job!
See....Cabrera's People Refuse To See The Truth...Baez Has Done Her Job...This Money Was Allocated Long Ago....If You Understood How The System Works You Would Know It Takes A While....So Get Your facts Straight....Baez 2009!

A 104-YEAR-OLD football club is "homeless" after Caerphilly council blocked plans to upgrade a pitch, despite already investing "thousands of pounds", writes Michael Jones.
Following the council's decision to close Pontllanfraith Leisure Centre – where Ynysddu Welfare FC currently play – the club had been set to move to Bryn Playing Fields next season.
Yet club secretary Ben Murphy was "totally gobsmacked" after receiving an email saying the council had unanimously decided Ynysddu first-team could not play there.
Ynysddu's pitch has to meet set criteria, as they play in the Gwent County First Division.
There were plans to increase the pitch size, and erect supporter barriers and dugouts – Ynysddu then wanted to build a perimeter fence and a small supporters stand.
"Thousands of pounds" had already been spent on improving the field's drainage by the council, said Mr Murphy.
"It just shows how shambolic the council are.
"They've given us a grant to upgrade a pitch that we now can't upgrade.
A spokesperson for CCBC said: "The council is keen to support the club with their future aspirations and we are exploring all available options.
However, "every solution they are offering us is a short-term solution", said Mr Murphy.
"What we want is somewhere to develop and make our home.
"It's not about money, because we don't expect financial support.
Ynysddu captured the public imagination and the attention of the national press earlier this season after accidentally entering a youth side in the FAW Youth Cup, despite not having one.
After scrambling together a squad, they knocked out Britton Ferry in an "unbelievable" victory, but fell short against Llanelli Town in the second round.
Now Mr Murphy says plans to create a permanent youth structure and a veteran over 40s side have also been halted.
"We've been led down a garden path.
"We even had an email on the 3rd of April telling us what we can and cannot do, what insurances and liability we need to take out.
Mr Murphy said the club would "find a way of surviving".

Q: XSLT: Transform XML files tree I have the following file structure (XML files 'index.xml' in nested folders):
index.xml
foo/index.xml
foo/sub/index.xml
foo/.../index.xml
bar/.../index.xml

Now I have to transform each of this XML files with a given XSL stylesheet. The result should be the same folder structure (overwriting would be OK). What would be your approach to achieve this?
My system: OS X 10.6, Saxon XSLT processor

A: Using Bash
How about putting the find command in a file and make the file executable:
find . -iname "*.xml" -exec transformcommand {} \;

(The {} will be replaced with the found file.)
Using Ant If you want something more platform independent you could write a simple Ant task for it. Have a look at the Ant XSLT Task, which could be combined with the <for>-tag.
Example:
<xslt in="input.xml"
      out="output.txt"
      style="thexsltfile.xsl"
      force="true"
      classPath="lib/saxon9.jar"/>

This is my first ship model; and I'm really anxious. I'm exited to delve into this, but I feel like this is going to be an exercise in patience. I just received the box containing the pieces and parts, bits and bobs; LOTS of them. It's going to take a while just to go through the packing list to make sure everything is there. I think I'll take other peoples advice suggested here http://www.modelboatyard.com/Bluenose2_Articles/BN-Part1.doc and just pay attention to the major parts. There's way too many pieces to count (70 1/16 x 1/8 x 24 wood strips, 150 brass eye bolts, 4 parts Gaff Jaw Halves, etc.) There must be 1000 pieces here.
I have this vision of the finished model sitting on my mantel. I hope I have the fortitude to see this through and wind up with something I'm proud of, and not something just slapped together. I'm figuring this will take me a year to finish, but we'll see.
Hi Pendragon and welcome to the MSB forum.
It is a good idea to check that you do indeed have all the parts but as you do this, examine your plans and try to identify more or less where everything goes. You'll probably not get it all right but there's a steep learning curve ahead of you. At least identify the major parts and ensure that you don't take the hull planks for deck planks, for instance.
Read through your instruction manual and understand what's going on. There are a lot of good modellers here and they will be able to help you so ask questions if you have any doubts. To help them in this it is best for you to get a build log going so we can see what you have got when problems arise. Don't make presumptions. Make sure. Ask the questions and get the answers. Patience is essential. Don't try to rush the job. There's a good adage: Measure twice - cut once.
There are a few guys building the Bluenose at this time and they have current knowledge of what you are up against. We'll all try to help to make your build a success.
My next question will really show off how new I am to this craft. Of course I'm starting with the keel. You can see in the picture attached that the joints are not as snug as I would have thought. Looks like almost 1/64 inch gap on the left one. Will that work with just glue?
Ship Modeling Simplified recommends adding a small piece of 1/16 inch plywood on the joints as reinforcement (page 24). Do you think that is necessary or helpful?
The piece on the left looks like it doesn't fit quite right on the bottom. It overhangs by a little bit. I gues I can file/sand that off after I mark the reference line. By the way, what's the best way to mark the bearding line and rabbet on the model? Do I need a tracing wheel or can this typically be done by measuring at several points?
The gap is too big for just gluing. This is an important joint and you need to keep it as strong as possible.
Just sanding the bottom of the keel is also not a good idea. Also, you have a similar but opposite situation at the top of the keel. I suggest that you sand or file a small touch off the upper surface of the toung that will enable you to shift the two parts into alignment. Make sure that your filing is square. Now you will have a comparatively bigger gap but cut a small matching filler piece from one of your strips and glue it onto the lower surface of the tongue. You will have solved the alignment and provided additional strenth to the joint at the same time,. You have also avoided a possible future problem if there happens to be something that needs to be placed at that point. This is a real possibility and you would have a lot of truble trying trying to fix later.
When you glue the pieces of the keel together ensure that they are perfectly aligned and flat and try to clamp them together while the glue dries.
I forgot to comment on the bearding line. The easiest is to copy it onto a piece of reasonably soft cardboard using carbon paper. Then cut the profile out and you will be able to use it on both sides of your keel. Place some reference points or measurements on the copy so that you can locate it accurately when you transfer the profile onto the wood.
thanks for the quick reply Richard. I gather from your reply that you don't agree with putting a small piece of plywood on the joints to strengthen them. From what I can see in the plans it doesn't look like anything will go there.
You might want to consider using filler blocks similar to the model below.
2. helps ensure you have a straight spline and prevents it from warping.
3. Assuming the ends are cut square they also ensure your bulkheads remain square to the spline.
Do as he suggests. This is the only acceptable application for balsa, as far as I'm concerned, in ship modelling but you can use any wood for this.
It appers that carbon paper is becoming a thing of the past. I could not find any at several stationary stores in the area, but I was able to order some online.
While I wait for delivery I started on the bulkheads. Again, I'm using instruction from Ship Modeling Simplified (page 23). I used an Xacto to cut paper to match the shape of the bulkhead, then folded in half to determine the centerline. Most of the pieces are dead on. I did find a couple that were off a little bit. You can see in the pictures attached that I cut away some on one side and added a shim on the other side to get the center slot lined up. My next step is to trim the outer profile so that it matches on both sides.
Well, it took a while to get the carbon paper, but I'm off and running again. I took Richard's advice and copied the bearding line and rabbet line on to different pieces of manila folder and cut them to shape. I was then able to transfre the line to both sides of the center keel. You can see what I mean in the picture attached.

Have you seen my belly lately?? It's seriously impressive. I suppose that is what happens when you're a month away from expecting your third baby! A belly this big requires plenty of delicious treats. And these muffins totally fit the bill! These quadruple berry muffins are bursting with all of the sweet flavor and delicious nutrition you'd expect from fresh berries and yogurt.
Yes, you caught that right… QUADRUPLE Berry Muffins! We don't mess around with plain old blueberry muffins 'round here. Our muffins are exploding with the flavor of four different berries. A sweet and buttery, cinnamon streusel topping adds the perfect finishing touch. It's a fantastic way to start a beautifully sunny spring morning.
The recipe which follows is slightly tweaked from the one I actually baked. In my original recipe, I incorporated fresh strawberries into the batter, along with the blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. What I quickly discovered is that fresh strawberries get kind of wet and mushy when baked. In my book, that was a less than ideal texture. So, I traded in the fresh strawberries for some creamy strawberry-flavored yogurt. Now the only thing missing from these muffins is a bit of cranberry! Maybe next time we'll go for quintuple berry muffins!!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with liners. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, egg, yogurt and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir, just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the fresh berries. Fill each muffin liner with a generous 1/4 cup of the batter.
For the streusel, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly moistened. Use your fingers to press the mixture together into large clumps. Break the large clumps into smaller crumbles over the muffin batter. Gently press the crumbles into the batter.

Wow even the batter looks beautiful!
I just made muffins very similar to this not too long ago! I love your addition of the strawberry yogurt, I wish I would have thought of that!
These sound so good! Bursting with spring flavors!
That looks wonderful. I love the topping.

La sinagoga de Génova, inaugurada en 1935, se encuentra en via Bertora 6 en Génova. Es, junto con las sinagogas de Trieste, Roma y Livorno, una de las cuatro grandes sinagogas monumentales del siglo XX en Italia y junto con la pequeña sinagoga ortodoxa de Rijeka (ahora en Croacia) uno de los ejemplos de sinagogas italianas construidas en la época fascista.

Historia
Una comunidad de judíos genoveses se remonta a la Alta Edad Media. Casiodoro cuenta cómo entre 507 y 511, Teodorico el Grande "impidió que los judíos de Génova ampliaran la sinagoga existente y los obligó a limitarse a repararla; en esos mismos años, Teodorico confirmó a los judíos de Génova el derecho a cumplir con sus propias leyes en el campo religioso incluso cuando contradecían la legislación general".

Pequeños grupos de judíos estuvieron presentes en Génova especialmente a partir de 1658, cuando la ciudad se convirtió en puerto franco. En las áreas que les fueron asignadas como gueto, se cambiaron tres pequeños oratorios, ahora desaparecidos: en vico del Campo, en piazza dei Tessitori y cerca de las murallas de Malapaga. A principios del siglo XX, el desarrollo industrial produjo un rápido aumento demográfico; en pocos años llegaron a la ciudad ligura más de 2.500 judíos. La comunidad judía de Génova quiso entonces dotarse de un edificio monumental, digno del estatus y prestigio de la ciudad. Es la sinagoga más grande construida en Italia durante el período fascista, en 1935.

El proyecto de la sinagoga se confió al arquitecto Francesco Morandi, quien concibió una estructura maciza y cuadrada de hormigón armado, coronada por una gran cúpula central y cuatro semicúpulas angulares. Las ventanas altas con rendijas se abren a las paredes. En la fachada está el gran portal coronado por una luneta con la imagen pintada de las Tablas de la Ley y la inscripción en hebreo: "Porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración de todos los pueblos" (Is 56,7). Sobre el portal hay un enorme rosetón en el que está representada la Estrella de David.

El interior tiene la forma de un gran anfiteatro, con dos altos matroneos semicirculares. El punto focal lo da el aron con la tevá al frente. Todo el mobiliario son modernos. En 1959 se colocaron tres vitrales, obra de Emanuele Luzzati, que representan los emblemas de las Doce tribus de Israel y la Menorá.

La sinagoga se utiliza actualmente como sede de la Comunidad judía de Génova.

La redada del 3 de noviembre de 1943
Durante la segunda guerra mundial, en el periodo de la ocupación nazi, la sinagoga de Génova fue teatro de uno de los más trágicos acontecimientos del Holocausto en Italia. El 3 noviembre 1943 tropas de las SS irrumpieron en la sinagoga y obligaron al guardia Bino Polacco bajo amenaza de muerte para sus hijos a convocar a los miembros de la comunidad para una presunta reunión en la sinagoga. Para los que cayeron en la trampa y se presentaron a la cita no hubo escapatoria. Finalmente, unos 50 judíos fueron capturados y enviados a Auschwitz, donde murieron. Entre ellos el entonces rabino jefe Riccardo Pacifici y el guardián Bino Polacco con su familia, incluidos sus hijos de 2 y 4 años. Una placa recordatoria de mármol colocada fuera del edificio recuerda a los 301 judíos genoveses que perecieron, víctimas de las deportaciones nazi-fascistas.

Intersight 21 invites students and faculty to share their inspirations
2018-19 Brunkow Fellow Kevin Brunkow invites students to share the inspiration behind their work in Intersight 21. Photo by Maryanne Schultz
by Rachel Teaman
This year's journal of student work, Intersight 21, will explore how students formulate their design vision, and carry it to fruition over the course of the year.
Kevin Turner, 2018-19 Brunkow Fellow and editor of Intersight 21, says his goal is to create a more intimate view of the creative process and the intellectual connections across our school.
"Intersight has always been about the student - what they do and how they do it. In Intersight 21, we will continue the conversation, and explore how students conceive and conceptualize the idea," says Turner, a graudate of UB's Architecture BS and now a second-year student in the Master of Architecture program.
"We will share the inspirations of the student; and by extension, the inspirations of the school," he continued. Turner officially launched the publication recently at a school-wide event in Crosby Hall.

Since its founding in 1991, Intersight has served as the annual journal of student work at the School of Architecture and Planning. The publication celebrates the interconnections of architecture, planning and design while exploring the pedagogy of the school. Published as a printed book at the end of the academic year, Intersight is now complemented by an online gallery of student work and ideas.
Turner says he will also engage faculty and staff in his investigation of inspiration and creative motivation.
Students, as well as faculty and staff, are invited to submit images and reflective texts via an online submission form. Select submissions will be published on the school's new Intersight gallery of work, at ap.buffalo.edu/intersight.
Students and faculty: Share your inspirations here
Turner says his vision for the publication builds on the work of past Brunkow Fellows. In particular, the publication's first digital launch was piloted last year by Randy Fernando, the 2017-18 Brunkow Fellow and editor of Intersight 20., which sought to open dialogue on the creative processes at work across the school.
Ultimately, Turner says the journal will reflect on the pedagogy of the school and how it is shaped by the intellectual motivations of its students and faculty.

Streeter, J.
Alexander Cervantes was 14 years old when he attacked a 13-year-old girl and her 20-month-old brother, who were the younger siblings of one of his friends. After breaking into their home in the middle of the night, he stabbed them repeatedly as they slept, raped and sodomized the girl, forced her to orally copulate him, and ultimately passed out during the attack. He had been drinking heavily that evening and his defense rested on voluntary intoxication to negate specific intent. He was convicted of 15 charges, including various sex offenses, first-degree burglary, and two counts each of attempted murder, torture, and aggravated mayhem. He received a prison sentence of 50 years to life under the one-strike law (Pen. Code,1 § 667.61 ), a consecutive 11-year determinate term for one attempted murder (§§ 187, 664), plus a consecutive life term for the other attempted murder.
We divide our discussion into three parts. Only an overview of the first part shall be published, but the remaining two parts are certified for publication in their entirety
First, Cervantes argues that the representation he received was so far below the minimum threshold of constitutionally effective assistance of counsel as to amount to no defense at all. Pointing to dozens of shortcomings—beginning with an incomplete investigation of his mental state, which he says guaranteed his counsel either had no basis for strategic choices she made or simply failed to recognize choices she should have made—he asks that we reverse outright, and remand for a new trial. While we reject that argument, we agree there were a number of serious deficiencies in counsel's performance, enough to leave us without confidence in the outcome of the trial on most of the specific intent crimes. We therefore reverse on eight specific intent counts, while affirming as to the remaining seven counts, including the convictions for burglary and all of the general intent crimes (four of the six sex offenses, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon).
Second, our conclusion that we must reverse and remand for retrial on eight of 15 counts presents some novel issues under recently-passed Proposition 57, the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016 (Prop 57). Cervantes argues Prop 57 requires that the case be remanded for a "fitness hearing" to the juvenile court, which he contends has "exclusive jurisdiction" over any trial of the offenses charged in this case until and unless it determines that the case should be transferred to adult criminal court, and further, that a remand for retrial on any of the counts of which he was convicted requires vacatur of all the convictions and retrial of all charges. He argues that Prop 57 is retroactive, but that this result is mandated even applying Prop 57 prospectively to any proceedings on remand after a partial reversal. We do not agree that Prop 57 is retroactive. Nor do we agree that a partial reversal requires that all convictions must
be vacated. But we do agree that Prop 57 requires a remand to the juvenile court for a "fitness hearing," and that the outcome of that hearing will determine which department of the Superior Court—adult criminal court, or juvenile court—will handle any retrial on the reversed counts and sentencing.
Third, Cervantes argues that the sentence imposed on him is the functional equivalent of life without possibility of parole and therefore violates the Eighth Amendment under Graham v. Florida (2010) 560 U.S. 48, 130 S.Ct. 2011, 176 L.Ed.2d 825 (Graham ) and People v. Caballero (2012) 55 Cal.4th 262, 268, 145 Cal.Rptr.3d 286, 282 P.3d 291 (Caballero ). Since the sentencing choices made on the convictions we affirm, even without conviction on the counts we reverse, could produce another indeterminate life sentence with a lengthy minimum term, this Eighth Amendment issue will be relevant to the proceedings on remand whether Cervantes's case is handled in adult criminal court or stays in juvenile court. Thus, we address it and conclude that a sentence requiring Cervantes to serve at least 66 years in prison before he would first become eligible for parole, is constitutionally infirm. Because that term exceeds his life expectancy, it is the functional equivalent of life without parole and violates the Eighth Amendment under Graham , at p. 74, 130 S.Ct. 2011 and Caballero, at p. 268, 145 Cal.Rptr.3d 286, 282 P.3d 291. Where, exactly, the constitutional line lies below the 66 years to life imposed in this case has yet to be addressed by our Supreme Court, although we note that some guidance on the issue will likely be forthcoming in a case now pending before it. In the meantime, the Prop 57 "fitness hearing" we order today will rectify any constitutional concerns about the length of whatever term of confinement is imposed on Cervantes for the convictions we affirm here, as well as for any other offenses that may be tried on remand.
I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
A. Facts Disclosed at Trial
1. Prosecution's Case
On the evening of December 11, 2010, Cervantes attended a party, where witnesses saw him drinking from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. One of the partygoers described him as "really drunk" at 10:20 p.m.
At approximately 1:30 or 2:00 a.m. on December 12, 2010, Cervantes entered the Vacaville home of his sometime friend, Gabriel T. (Gabriel).2 He carried a steak knife he had brought from home and had a condom with him. Gabriel was not at home because he was in juvenile hall. The only occupants were Gabriel's younger sister, 13-year-old A.P., and their 20-month-old brother, I.A. A.P. was babysitting I.A. while their mother and another sister were out of the house.
As the evening progressed, A.P. and I.A. fell asleep on their mother's bed. A.P. awoke to the sensation of a sharp pain in her back like someone was punching her, and she saw blood underneath her on the bed. Looking in the mirror, she saw someone else in the room. Turning, she recognized Cervantes as a friend of her older brother's. A.P. testified he was wearing
black gloves and a black jacket.3 She asked Cervantes why he was there. "He said that it was revenge for my brother, against Richard—something with an R," or "revenge for [her] brother for snitching on ... Richard...." A.P. did not know what he was talking about. As A.P. tried to unlock her cell phone to call 911, she fell off the bed. While she was on the floor, Cervantes stabbed her repeatedly in her head, back, and shoulders. A.P. suffered defensive wounds on her wrists and elbow when she tried to shield her head. She begged Cervantes to stop and eventually he did. After Cervantes stopped stabbing her, A.P. heard her baby brother "squeal," but she could not move to help him. Then the screaming stopped.
Cervantes came back over to A.P. and "started getting into [her] pants." He put his hand down the back of her pants and "was feeling on [her] butt."
Cervantes told A.P. to get on the bed and she complied out of fear. Cervantes got on top of her and put his penis in her vagina. After a couple of minutes, he told A.P. to moan and call him "daddy." When A.P. did not comply, Cervantes threatened to kill her brother, by which A.P. thought he meant Gabriel. A.P. complied with Cervantes's demands. Cervantes "finally stopped" and told her to "turn around." A.P. rolled onto her stomach, and Cervantes sodomized her. Cervantes "finally stopped," then told A.P. she "was going to suck his dick." Cervantes "kind of put his penis up into [her] mouth" and "pulled [her] head down." When A.P. saw Cervantes starting to doze off, she tried to get away, but he grabbed her hair and "yanked [her] back down." Eventually, Cervantes fell asleep.
A.P. grabbed her phone and her little brother and quickly got out of the room. Entering the kitchen, she noticed the door to the garage was standing open, as was the door leading from the garage to the outside of the house. Both doors had been closed earlier and the external door was normally kept locked. Once outside, A.P. called 911 and went across the street to a neighbor's house.
Shortly after 4:00 a.m....
