The following excerpt is from Younessi v. Munoz, B265750 (Cal. App. 2017):
2. The trial court's determinations on standing and the statute of limitations in the Killackey Action were not alternative grounds; each finding was independently necessary to the court's judgment. (See Lucido v. Superior Court (1990) 51 Cal.3d 335, 342 [issue "'necessarily decided'" if not "'entirely unnecessary'" to the earlier judgment].)
