Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Five.

COUNSEL

Hurley, Grassini & Wrinkle and Roland Wrinkle for Plaintiffs and Appellants.

OPINION

EPSTEIN, J.*

This appeal raises a single issue, one of first impression: whether the Workers' Compensation Act (Act), as amended in 1982, continues to bar civil actions by nondependent heirs against the employer of a decedent who was killed in the course and scope of employment. We conclude that it does, and affirm the trial court's judgment.
