Does a trial court lose jurisdiction by failing to conduct a trial on a recommitment petition during that period of time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Landau, G042008 (Cal. App. 2013):

The appellate court concluded the trial court did not lose jurisdiction by failing to conduct the trial on a recommitment petition during that period of time for which recommitment is sought. (Orozco v. Superior Court, supra, 117 Cal.App.4th at p. 180.) Although the appellate court denied Orozco the dismissal he requested, the court directed "the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandate directing [the trial] court to set the first recommitment petition for trial forthwith . . . ." (Id. at p. 173.)
