California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Day v. Cnty. of Sacramento, C082490 (Cal. App. 2017):

3. Her reliance on Mendoza v. County of Tulare (1982) 128 Cal.App.3d 403 does not persuade because the court did not address whether each defendant qualified as a "person" under section 1983. " ' "It is axiomatic that cases are not authority for propositions not considered." ' " (McWilliams v. City of Long Beach (2013) 56 Cal.4th 613, 626.)
