Disposition notice

The Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division Three, reversed the order of dismissal of the Superior Court of Orange County and ordered the magistrate to reinstate the felony complaint against defendant Jason Robert Hyatt. The California Supreme Court had previously reversed this court's decision and remanded with directions to remand the case to the Orange County Superior Court, sitting as a magistrate, with orders to reinstate the felony complaint. To comply with that directive, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's order of dismissal and ordered the magistrate to reinstate the felony complaint. Justice Macaulay was assigned to the panel solely to implement the Supreme Court's directions due to the retirement of an original panel member.
