ORDER MODIFYING OPINION

[NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT]

 

THE COURT:

 

     It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on July 15, 2010, be modified as follows:

 

     On page 11, footnote 5, the last sentence of the footnote is omitted so that the full paragraph comprising footnote 5 reads:

 

   Statutory immunity for arbitrators was repealed with the expiration of Code of Civil Procedure section 1280.1.  Following the repeal of section 1280.1 by its own terms, Stasz reaffirmed that the protection of common law quasi-judicial immunity still extended to arbitrators and sponsoring organizations.  (Stasz, supra, 121 Cal.App.4th at p. 436.)

 

     There is no change in the judgment.
