ORDER MODIFYING OPINION 
THE COURT: 
 
The opinion in this matter, which was filed February 26, 2018, and appears at 4 
Cal.5th 349, is modified as follows: 
In the second full paragraph starting on page 363, beginning “The record in this 
case,” the sentence, “An opportunity to obtain release does not seem ‘meaningful’ or 
‘realistic’ within the meaning of Graham if the chance of living long enough to meet that 
opportunity is roughly the same as a coin toss” is modified to read as follows:  “An 
opportunity to obtain release does not seem ‘meaningful’ or ‘realistic’ within the meaning 
of Graham if the chance of living long enough to make use of that opportunity is roughly 
the same as a coin toss.  (Cf. dis. opn. of Cantil-Sakauye, C. J., post, at p. 394.)” 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
