THE COURT: 
 
MODIFICATION OF OPINION 
 
 
The opinion herein filed on April 24, 2008, and appearing at 43 Cal.4th 
400, is modified as follows:   
 
After the last sentence of the first full paragraph on page 412, a footnote is 
added stating:  “Our conclusion here is consistent with the United States Supreme 
Court’s comment in Malley v. Briggs (1986) 475 U.S. 335, 344, footnote 7, that 
section 1983 ‘should be read against a background of tort liability that makes a 
man responsible for the consequences of his actions,’ and thus judicial action will 
not constitute a superseding causation when the party seeking the action provides 
materially misleading information in its support.” 
 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
