The following excerpt is from People v. Rivadeneira, 176 Cal.App.3d 132, 222 Cal.Rptr. 548 (Cal. App. 1985):
6 In many respects this case is an anomaly. Ordinarily, busy trial court judges and equally frenzied court clerks do not take the time to articulate the reasons for a dismissal or striking, and outline the underlying facts to indicate that the action of the court is in furtherance of justice. The comment in footnote 10 in People v. Orin, supra, 13 Cal.3d at page 945, 120 Cal.Rptr. 65, 533 P.2d 193 is pertinent:
