California Court of Appeal


Alliance for the Protection of the Auburn Community Environment v. County of Placer, C067961

Petition for a writ of mandate challenging a development project approved by defendant-county and alleging violations of the California Environmental Quality Act was properly dismissed by the trial court on defendant's demurrer, where: 1) petitioner filed three days past the statutory deadline; 2) California Civil Code of Procedure section 473(b) does not offer relief from mandatory deadlines deemed jurisdictional in nature; and 3) petitioner cites no authority for the proposition that CCP section 473 provides relief from a litigant's failure to file its petition within the 30-day limitations period under Public Resources Code section 21167.
