'The case (Woods. v. Shewry) was filed by four men and the daughter of one, against the State of California and its agencies. The lower court dismissed the case on the ground that men and women are "not similarly situated" as victims. The Court of Appeal reversed the decision on October 14, 2008, holding "male victims of domestic violence are similarly situated to female victims for purposes of the statutory programs" and the laws "violate equal protection."'
