The following excerpt is from C. Pappas Co., Inc. v. E. & J. GALLO WINERY, 610 F. Supp. 662 (E.D. Cal. 1985):

Johnson, 14 Cal.3d 815, 122 Cal.Rptr. 745, 537 P.2d 865 (1975), clearly demonstrates the level of knowledge that must be possessed by a defendant, as well as the defendant's state of mind that must be proven by the plaintiff before the plaintiff may be entitled to recover on this theory.
