The following excerpt is from Gravert v. Deluse, 6 Cal.App.3d 576, 86 Cal.Rptr. 93 (Cal. App. 1970):
Secondly, we think the error must be considered as clerical as another department of the superior court already had jurisdiction of the paternity issue prior to the instigation of the dependent child proceedings in the juvenile court. (See Williams v. Superior Court (1939) 14 Cal.2d 556, 662, 96 P.2d 334.) Nor do we find anything in the record indicating that the juvenile court ever attempted to adjudicate the question of paternity. Once the matter was brought to the attention of the juvenile court in 1967, it readily admitted its clerical error and modified the 1966 order.
