Full Text

require that the property be ‘of another’ for embezzlement . . . . It is both illogical
and unreasonable to hold that a partner cannot steal from his partners merely
because he has an undivided interest in the partnership property. Fundamentally,
stealing that portion of the partners’ shares which does not belong to the thief is no
different from stealing the property of any other person.” (People v. Sobiek (1973)
30 Cal.App.3d 458, 464, 468 [106 Cal.Rptr. 519, 106 Cal.Rptr. 519]; see Pen. Code,
§ 484.)
Fiduciary Relationships
Courts have held that creditor/debtor and employer/employee relationships are not
presumed to be fiduciary relationships in the absence of other evidence of trust or
confidence. (People v. Wooten (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 1834, 1846 [52 Cal.Rptr.2d
765, 52 Cal.Rptr.2d 765] [creditor/debtor]; People v. Threestar (1985) 167
Cal.App.3d 747, 759 [213 Cal.Rptr. 510, 213 Cal.Rptr. 510] [employer/employee].)
