California Court of Appeal

In case involving challenge to ballot title adopted by the L.A. City Council for Measure R, consisting in part of a proposed amendment to the city charter, providing real party in interest broader relief than he sought, grant of writ of mandate is vacated as a ballot title need only contain words that are neither false, misleading, nor partial, and the title adopted by the city council meets that standard.
