MODIFICATION OF OPINION 
THE COURT: 
 
The opinion  filed on January 28, 2008, and appearing at 42 Cal.4th 974, is 
modified as follows: 
 
On page 981, in the fourth full paragraph on that page, the following two 
sentences are deleted: 
“The Labor Commissioner agreed, finding that Marathon had 
violated the Act by providing talent agency services without a 
license, including “procur[ing] work for [Blasi] as an actress on the 
. . . television series, Strong Medicine.”  It voided the parties’ 
contract ab initio and barred Marathon from recovery.” 
 
Substitute the following for the deleted sentences: 
 “The Labor Commissioner agreed.  The Commissioner found 
Marathon had procured various engagements for Blasi, including a 
role in the television series Strong Medicine.  Concluding that one or 
more acts of solicitation and procurement by Marathon violated the 
Act, the Commissioner voided the parties’ contract ab initio and 
barred Marathon from recovery.” 
 
 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
