NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT

 

     THE COURT:

    

It is ordered that the opinion certified for publication and filed herein on June 9, 2015, be modified as follows:

     1.  At page 3, replace the year 2013 with 2012, in the fourth sentence of the last paragraph, to read as follows:

                The landlord never told Aurora that Elias?s family asked her

           to evict her family, and denied that the eviction, which took place in

           November 2012, was retaliation for Aurora?s accusations against

           Elias.

     2.  At page 5, in the first line of the second paragraph, replace the year 2013 with 2012, to read as follows:  

                After Aurora phoned the police on October 23, 2012, Sonoma

           County Deputy Sheriff Carlos Chavez was instructed to look into the

           matter and make an ?incident report? that would be used to decide

           whether a detective should be assigned to investigate the case.

 

     There is no change in the judgment.
