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: we disapprove of people v. aris, supra, 215 cal.app.3d 1178, and people v. day, supra, 2 cal.app.4th 405, to the extent they are inconsistent with this conclusion.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: but to the extent the court of appeal's implication might be read to suggest that the magistrate's failure cannot deny a defendant a substantial right affecting the legality of the commitment even when the failure is prejudicial as well as erroneous, the appellate court's opinion is unsound under the analysis set out above and is hereby disapproved.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: the majority overrules the recent decision of ex parte trisler, 605 s.w.2d 619 (tex.cr.app. 1980), and the long line of decisions it represents, without regard to the doctrine of stare decisis.

SOLUTION:
overruling
