The court of Appeals, Fourth District, Division 2, California Held in part that: “We would agree with Carlton, if he had not filed the SAC.

The SAC superseded the FAC, which permitted a demurrer to the entire SAC to be filed. (See Meyer v. State Bd. of Equalization (1954) 42 376, 384, 267 P.2d 257 [“It is well established that an amendatory pleading supersedes the original one, which ceases to perform any function as a pleading”].) C.–D.”; “DISPOSITION; “The award of discovery sanctions is reversed. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed. The parties are to bear their own costs on appeal. We concur: RAMIREZ, P. J. KING, J.” Opinion of the Court of Appeals was Published.
