Quotation of the day

     I know, I know, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of my blawg.  And yet I couldn’t resist passing on this tidbit to you from one of yesterday’s unpublished cases decided by our local Court of Appeal:

“There is one matter that requires minor modification of the judgment. The judgment includes an order that, literally, imposes a lien on a human being. In this case, the trial judge put a constructive trust lien on Tran’s father, Tom Tran. We can find no authority for a lien on a human being so we hereby strike from the judgment the provision putting a constructive trust lien on Tom Tran personally.”

Vu v. Tran, Case No. G04587 (4th Dist. Div. 3 May 29, 2014) (Bedsworth, Rylaarsdam, Moore) (unpublished).
