Bill Lockyer, Attorney General of California, argued the cause for petitioners. With him on the briefs were Manuel M. Medeiros, State Solicitor General, Robert R. Anderson, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Pamela C. Hamanaka, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Kristofer Jorstad, Deputy Attorney General, Erika D. Jackson, Deputy Attorney General, and Donald E. De Nicola, Deputy Solicitor General.

Mark R. Drozdowski, by appointment of the Court, post, p. 807, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Maria E. Stratton and Karyn H. Bucur.*
