THE COURT It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on January 5, 2009, be modified as follows: 1. On page 9, in the second paragraph, the words "to remediate" are added so

that the sentence reads:

In April 2002, the trial court (per Judge Waters) ruled that the State's negligence in failing to remediate and delaying remediation at the site did not breach any duty to mitigate the defendant insurers' damages (no-mitigation ruling). 2. On page 34, the second paragraph of footnote 10, the parenthetical citation

to O'Brien v. Camisasca Automotive Mfg., Inc. (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 388, 401 is deleted and replaced with People v. Weeks (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 882, 888. 3. On page 59, the last paragraph, the parenthetical citation to California

Rules of Court, rule 8.204(1)(C) is changed to read: (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.204(a)(1)(C).) 4. On page 67, in the second full paragraph, commencing with "In their reply

brief," the parenthetical citation to Buell-Wilson v. Ford Motor Co. (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 1107, 1160 is deleted and replaced with Paulus v. Bob Lynch Ford, Inc. (2006) 139 Cal.App.4th 659, 685.
