## Opinion text

NEWMAN, J.
— I dissent. I have not been persuaded by either written or oral argument (1) that “section 453.5 was intended to apply to the instant circumstances” (maj. opn., ante, at p. 847), or (2) that the section superseded other pertinent statutes.
I regret that, because of the court’s overload and ongoing proceedings of the Commission on Judicial Performance, I am not able to allot the hours that would be required to prepare an appropriate dissenting opinion. (Cf. opn. of Sawyer, J., dissenting, in People v. Campbell (1866) 30 Cal. 312, 316 .)
