TAK CHUN GAMING PROMOTION COMPANY LIMITED,

Plaintiff and Appellant,

v.

KEVIN C.S. LONG,

Defendant and Respondent.

 

No. B317918

(Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 21BBCV00094)

California Court of Appeal

Second Appellate District

Division Two

Filed November 17, 2023

 

ORDER MODIFYING

OPINION AND DENYING

REHEARING

 

NO CHANGE IN THE

JUDGMENT

 

THE COURT:

 

It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on October 26, 2023, be modified as follows:

 

1. On page 11, in lines 5 and 6 of footnote 4, delete the phrase "Tak Chun distastefully implies" and replace it with the phrase "Tak Chun's comparison could be read to distastefully imply" so the full footnote reads as follows:

 

4 Tak Chun's comparison to our Supreme Court's decision in In re Marriage Cases (2008) 43 Cal.4th 757 is ill conceived, for this decision was an acknowledgment that persons of different sexual orientations are entitled to the equal protection of the law authorizing marriage rather than, as Tak Chun's comparison could be read to distastefully imply, an illustration of a "substantial shift of public acceptance or morality" in California.

 

There is no change in the judgment.

 

Appellant's petition for rehearing is denied.

 

CHAVEZ, Acting P. J.

HOFFSTADT, J.

KWAN, J.*

 

*Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
