MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Steinle v. City of S.F., No. 17-16283 (9th Cir. 2019):

as against a general provision, although the latter, standing alone, would be broad enough to include the subject to which the more particular provision relates." (quoting Miller v. Superior Court, 986 P.2d 170, 177 (Cal. 1999))).
