4024 REVIEW DENIED Because an action for punitive damages does not result in the imposition of a criminal penalty, the ex post facto provisions of the federal and state Constitutions do not prevent a punitive damages claim from being brought under a section of the Code of Civil Procedure that extended the statute of limitations on actions for childhood sexual abuse.CitationRC BISHOP OF OAKLAND v SUPERIOR COURT (Ex Post Facto) 128 CA4 1155 [See: US Const I, 10; CCP 340.1; 21st Century V Superior Court 127 CA4 1351, T/AT 5/05]
