The following excerpt is from People v. Guzman, E050850 (Cal. App. 2012):

effectuate the law's purpose. [Citation.] "We begin with the text of the statute as the best indicator of legislative intent" [citation], but we may reject a literal construction that is contrary to the legislative intent apparent in the statute or that would lead to absurd results. [Citation.]" [Citations.] '[O]ur first task is to look to the language of the statute itself. [Citation.] When the language is clear and there is no uncertainty as to the legislative intent, we look no further and simply enforce the statute according to its terms. [Citations.]' [Citation.]" (Baker v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (2011) 52 Cal.4th 434, 442.)
