PEOPLE v. GOMEZAppellant’s Errata LetterCal.August 28, 2018452 1 CAM PUS DR IVE # 1 75 IRVINE, CA 926 1 2 LAURA 5. KELLY ATTORNEY AT LAW The Hon. Jorge Navarette, Clerk California Supreme Court 350 McAllister St. San Francisco, CA 94102-7 421 Re: People v. Ruben Gomez (8087773) August 28, 2018 Dear Mr. Navarette: (949) 737-2042 LKELLY@LKELLYLAW.NET In preparing for oral argument the following errors in appellant's opening brief came to my attention. First, People v. Vargas (1975) 53 Cal.App.3d 516, 530, cited on page 189 of appellant's opening brief, did not involve an escape from custody; rather, it involved a defendant who was out of custody and failed to return on the second day of trial, and who was believed to have fled to Mexico. (Id. at 523.) The portion of Vargas cited and quoted by the trial court at lORT 1605, however, discusses People v. Terry (1970) 2 Cal.3d 362, a case involving a defendant who had escaped from jail before trial. (Vargas, supra, 53 Cal.App.3d at p. 530.) Second, the citations to People v. Watson in footnote 12, page 366, and at the bottom of page 367 are incorrect; the correct citation is 46 Cal.2d at p. 836. In addition, I wish to clarify the first full paragraph on page 9 of appellant's opening brief: The multiple murder special circumstance applied to all the murder counts, not only to counts 10 and 11. (See 2CT 411.) Sincerely, L~ Declaration of Service Re: People v.
