The following excerpt is from Jones v. John Crane Inc., B238445 (Cal. App. 2013):
factual issues decided by the federal court under the former version of the statute were different from the factual issues presented to the state court due to the significant relevant substantive changes in the statute relating to the factual requirements for standing. (Id. at pp. 1514-1515.) As we noted, the "'"identical issue" requirement addresses whether "identical factual allegations" are at stake in the two proceedings, not whether the ultimate issues or dispositions are the same.'" (Id. at p. 1515, quoting from Lucido v. Superior Court (1990) 51 Cal.3d 335, 342.)
