ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
AND DENYING PETITION
FOR REHEARING
[NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT]
The petition for rehearing is denied. The majority opinion filed in this matter on July 11, 2023, is modified as follows:
The second paragraph, last sentence on page 16, should be modified to read "... and there is no complete date from 2022 yet. (See 2023 Court Statistics Report (available at http://courts.ca.gov/13421.htm as of July 12, 2023) [collecting statistics through fiscal year 2022, which ended on June 30, 2022] and the Trial Court Operational Metrics: Year One Report (available at http://courts.ca.gov/documents/lr-2023-tc-operational-metrics-BA2022-ch43.pdf as of July 12, 2023) [same].)"
After the second paragraph, last sentence on page 16, as modified, add the following footnote, which will require renumbering all subsequent footnotes: "The District Attorney argued for the first time in his traverse that the Superior Court should have produced case disposition statistics not publicly available under Chevron Stations, Inc. v. Alcoholic Beverage Control Appeals Bd. (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 116, 131. The District Attorney waived the argument by failing to make it in his petition without good cause. (Committee to Relocate Marilyn v. City of Palm Springs (2023) 88 Cal.App.5th 607, 637, fn. 8.). The District Attorney also forfeited the argument by failing to make it below. (People v. Suarez (2020) 10 Cal.5th 116, 149.)"
The third paragraph, last sentence on page 16 should be modified to read "But, again, the data from 2021 and 2022 is incomplete."
Except for these modifications, the majority opinion remains unchanged. These modifications do not effect a change in the judgment.
