TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a sentence, and you should determine whether it is overruling or non-overruling. In law, an overruling sentence is a statement that nullifies a previous case decision as a precedent by a constitutionally valid statute or a decision by the same or higher ranking court which establishes a different rule on the point of law involved. Classify your answers into overruling or non-overruling
PROBLEM: in wenke v. hitchcock, supra, 6 cal.3d 746, we partially overruled lindsey.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: thus, we disapprove of the reasoning of bates, which was followed in owens and soriano, and we approve judge sharp's dissent in owens.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: given that petitioner's due process rights were violated and that this situation is comparable to the outright denial of the constitutional right to call witnesses, expungement is the proper remedy (see matter of doleman v prack, 145   ad3d at 1290-1291; cf. matter of texeira v fischer, 26 ny3d at 234-235).

SOLUTION:
non-overruling
