Summary

Penal Code section 646.9, subdivision (b), applies to a violation of a stay-away order imposed as a condition of probation. The statute makes it a felony to engage in certain defined stalking conduct when “there is a temporary restraining order, injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting” that conduct. The court held that, based on the statutory language and the legislative history, the phrase “any other court order” included a stay-away order imposed as a condition of probation.
