            2nd Civil Nos. B140538, B142397

            Supreme Court No. S 102 726

 

REQUEST OF [_____________________________________________]

THAT REVIEW BE GRANTED

 

 

Dear Chief Justice George and Associate Justices:

 

            On behalf of the [_______________________________________________], the undersigned respectfully requests that this Court grant review in Conservatorship of Levitt to resolve several crucial issues concerning (1) access of elder abuse victims to the judicial system and (2) freedom of speech for advocates for the elderly. 

 

[Feel free to quote or summarize arguments on the summary

page, or to say whatever you believe is important.

    Alternatively, you may want to draw from some of the text in the letters of support

from [1] Bet Tzedek Legal Services, or [2] the Beverly Hills Bar Assn.]

 

            A decision by this Court on the issues raised by Conservatorship of Levitt will provide needed guidance in addressing the problems of a group of people whom the legislature (1) determined to be a “disadvantaged class”, and (2) enacted Legislation, such as EADACPA and its progeny, to protect. 

 

            Our organization, [____________________________________________], therefore urges the Court to grant review.

 

 

                                                                           Respectfully submitted,

 

                                                                           John Jones

                                                                           [Organization Name]
