The Court recognized that there was significant disagreement among the Circuits on this issue. In an SB 775 petition, an inmate must lay out a prima facie case. The theory, known as the ''imputed knowledge rule,'' upon which imputation of knowledge from an agent to its principal rests is that, when the agent acts within the scope of the agency relationship, there is identity of interests between principal and agent. On appeal, the Sixth Circuit considered whether the knowledge of certain employees (internal audit and compliance personnel who were aware of the false reimbursement claims) could be imputed to Omnicare. The first step to pursuing relief under SB 775 is to file a petition in the sentencing court. Even in those relationships, though, imputation of knowledge may only be found under certain circumstances. 2003), the court observed that “Knowledge of one person is generally only imputed to another where there exists a special legal relationship between the two, such as where the knowledge of an agent may be imputed to the principal, the knowledge of an attorney is imputed to his or her client, or the knowledge of one partner in a partnership is imputed to all the partners. In its transfer order, the California Supreme Court directed us to vacate our order denying the petition for writ of mandamus and to issue an order directing the respondent superior court to show cause why the relief sought in the petition should not be granted. Hence, knowledge of the defect is imputed to the house owner. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the Disabled Persons Act are state laws that protect people from discrimination based on disability.
Reason being that the house owner is subject to a duty to discover and rectify the defect in an area known to be used by the public. For instance, if the stairway leading to a rental house is defective and if any person is injured on the stairway, the house owner cannot evade liability for such person’s injury by denying knowledge of the defect.
Such knowledge is attributed for the reason that the facts in issue were open to discovery and it was that person's duty to apprise him/her of such facts. Imputed knowledge means the knowledge attributed to a party because of his/her position, or his/her relationship with or responsibility for another party. Pursuant to Local Rule 5-4.1 and Local Criminal Rule 49-1.1, electronic filing is mandatory in all civil and criminal cases in the Central District of California.
