We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, 5 proposing to reverse in part and affirm in part. We proposed to summarily reverse 6 summary judgment as to (1) the negligence claim brought by Plaintiff minor child 7 (grandchild of the tenants), who was separately named, and (2) the claim brought by 8 the Greens Plaintiffs, the tenants, for the return of their security deposit. We proposed 9 to summarily affirm summary judgment as to all the other claims the Greens Plaintiffs 10 raised relative to their occupancy and lease, on the basis that the rescission was an 11 effective waiver of those claims. No memorandum opposing summary reversal or 12 summary affirmance has been filed, and the time for doing so has expired. 13 {2} For the reasons set forth in the notice, summary judgment is reversed in part 14 and affirmed in part.
