Cases
Peruta v. County of San Diego, Case No. 10-56971
We filed a civil action against the County of San Diego for the failure to issue the client a concealed weapons permit. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held that San Diego (and by inference, the State of California) had encroached upon the 2nd amendment right to bear arms and reversed the ruling of the Federal Court for the Southern District of California..
Petrus v. DMV, 194 Cal.App.4th 1240
Violation of Due Process by California DMV, lower court ruling overturned and fees/costs paid by DMV to my Client.
Petition for review after the Court of Appeal reversed the judgment in an action for administrative mandamus. This case concerns the effect to be given criminal court rulings suppressing evidence pertaining to and dismissing a charge of driving with 0.08% blood alcohol at an administrative proceeding concerning suspension of the defendant’s driver’s license. (Veh. Code section 13353.2.) I did the Amicus opinion.
Arthur v. DMV, 184 Cal.App.4th 1199
Litigating the validity of a DUI checkpoint where there is little indicia of it being an official roadblock.
