The following excerpt is from Dubarry Internat., Inc. v. Southwest Forest Industries, Inc., 231 Cal.App.3d 552, 282 Cal.Rptr. 181 (Cal. App. 1991):

We do not need a law review article, or for that matter a defendant's primer, on a contrived issue. This is especially so, where the resolution of the issue has significant consequences. (See Howard v. Drapkin (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 843, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893.)
