Richard Knickerbocker | Santa Monica Litigation Lawyer

People v. Municipal Court (Byars)

Respondent: Attorney for the respondent, The Municipal Court For The Santa Monica Judicial District of Los Angeles County. This case was to determine under what circumstances the trial courts have the authority to recuse a prosecuting attorney. Upon review of all evidence as well as the real party complaints from Ronald and Michael Byars, it was found that there is no conflict of interest nor appearance which justifies action barring a city attorney from carrying out his prosecutorial function. It was therefor ordered that a writ of mandate be issued directing the trial court to vacate its order barring the city attorney from Acton as a prosecutor in a criminal processing's.
