California Court of Appeal
City of L.A. v. Super. Ct., 269525
In a petition under the California Public Records Act, Gov. Code sections 6250, et seq., (CPRA), to compel the City of Los Angeles to disclose electronically stored documents and data that contained information relating to vehicles impounded by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the City's petition for writ of mandate -- seeking an order directing the trial court to vacate its order granting plaintiff's motion to compel the City to provide further responses to her discovery -- is granted where, although the Civil Discovery Act applies to CPRA proceedings: 1) the City acted with substantial justification in opposing plaintiff's Motion to Compel; and 2) on remand, the trial court shall allow the City to assert additional objections to the plaintiff's discovery requests.
