Are we bound by decisions of federal district courts and appeals?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Williams v. Chino Valley Indep. Fire Dist., 159 Cal.Rptr.3d 566 (Cal. App. 2013):
bound by decisions of federal district courts and courts of appeals. [Citations.]" ( People v. Uribe (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 836, 875, 132 Cal.Rptr.3d 102.) We therefore reject the argument that we are required to follow federal statutes and lower federal court decisions.
