Asportation

I am cite checking an opinion that is about to be published. Basically that means that I am making sure all the references to case law mean what the research attorney says they mean and checking for grammar and style mistakes. In the process I looked up the word "asportation" because I thought the research attorney had mistyped "transportation." But sure enough, asportation is a real word. It means "to carry away." All you Californians should be glad to know that the attorneys working here at the California Court of Appeal are top notch. You're definitely getting your money's worth.
