California Court of Appeal December 1, 1998, B115029 (Johnson v. McMahan)

Opinion

EPSTEIN, Acting P. J .

The sole issue in this case is whether the California dog bite statute, Civil Code section 3342, applies when the bitee does not suffer a wound. It does. The trial court ruled otherwise, granting defendants’ motion for summary adjudication. Plaintiff was unsuccessful in his other causes of action, and suffered an adverse judgment from which he appeals.
