Snoozing justice refuses to retire
The 81-year-old California Supreme Court justice faces a probe into dozing on the bench. Chief Justice Don Wright says he stopped nudging Justice Marshall McComb, who was appointed in 1956, from retiring after calls to step down. The Judicial Qualifications Commission also investigates claims McComb shirks workload. McComb denies the charge and says light or momentary closing of eyes can happen.

California auditors call for a 1000 dollar deductible on malpractice awards, doctor bond posting, and a state fund to cover awards above a ceiling. The report cites rising awards outpacing premiums and criticizes the Department of Insurance for inadequate rate supervision. It notes physicians may be liable and contemplates emergency legislation.
