Judge HOCHBERG's moronic determination defies her own cited precedent.

The Supreme Court of California. 159 Cal. 716, 115 P. 743 (1911). "The
term 'provided' may or may not indicate a condition . . . it is often a
nice question to determine whether it is a condition or a covenant and
courts always construe similar clauses in a deed as covenants rather
than as conditions, if they can reasonably do so . . ."
