COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES,

Petitioner,

v.

SUPERIOR COURT OF

LOS ANGELES COUNTY,

Respondent;

 

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Real Parties in Interest.

 

No. B249494

(Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No.

BA352179)

California Courts of Appeal

Second Appellate District

Division One

Filed January 17, 2014

 

ORDER MODIFYING OPINION

AND DENYING PETITION

FOR REHEARING

[NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT]

 

THE COURT:

 

     It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on December 19, 2013, be modified as follows:

 

1. On page 8, second full paragraph, line 5, delete the word ?either?.

 

2. On page 21, footnote 16, line 2, substitute the word ?adequate? for the word ?inadequate.?

 

3. On page 21, footnote 16, lines 4-5, delete the words:

 

?, and does not provide this court with the probate conservatorship order.? 

The first sentence of the footnote should then read: 

 

We decline to consider further whether the public guardian abused its discretion by determining that Kennebrew?s probate conservatorship was an inadequate alternative to a Murphy conservatorship, as the public guardian advised, because the petition does not contend that the trial court?s order lacks supporting evidence on that ground.

    

There is no change in judgment.

     Petitioner?s petition for rehearing is denied.

 

 

ROTHSCHILD, Acting P. J.          CHANEY, J.             JOHNSON, J.
