The following excerpt is from People v. Josiah L. (In re Josiah L.), F080429 (Cal. App. 2020):
"[A] person 'actively participates in any criminal street gang,' within the meaning of section 186.22(a), by 'involvement with a criminal street gang that is more than nominal or passive."'" (People v. Castenada (2000) 23 Cal.4th 743, 752.) This does not mean that a defendant must have devoted all, or a substantial amount, of his time and efforts to gang activity. (Ibid.)
