Because mother’s sole claim challenges compliance with the ICWA, we limit the background summary to ICWA related facts and procedure unless otherwise relevant to the issue on appeal.
The minor was removed from mother’s sole custody after the Agency filed a dependency petition pursuant to section 300, subdivisions (b)(1), (g) and (j). Mother informed the Agency that T.B. was the minor’s father because he was with mother when the minor was born and he signed the minor’s birth certificate. However, mother later reported that T.B. was not the minor’s biological father. Instead, the biological father was a man named Jonathan, with whom she had had a “brief encounter” when she lived in Mexico. Mother did not know Jonathan’s last name, but she stated he lived in Mexico and had never been in the minor’s life. The juvenile court ordered the minor detained and declared T.B. to be the minor’s biological father.

These consolidated appeals concern two competing lawsuits brought in the name of a nonprofit charitable organization, Disability Services Corporation (DSC). The cases arise from a struggle between two rival factions of DSC’s board of directors (board) to control the corporation. In each of the two actions, one rival faction engaged separate counsel to file suit against the other rival faction for malfeasance in the management of DSC’s assets. Neither action is a shareholder derivative suit; in both DSC sues one board or the other in its individual corporate capacity.

Plaintiff, a prison inmate, brought this action against the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and its personnel, alleging defendants failed to initiate the process to have him considered by the trial court for a recall of his sentence and resentencing under Penal Code section 1170, subdivision (d)(1). Defendants demurred to the first amended complaint, and the trial court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend, finding plaintiff’s claims were barred by governmental immunity. We conclude plaintiff’s first amended complaint failed to state a viable cause of action against any defendant, and plaintiff has not demonstrated his pleading could be amended to cure the defects. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment against him.
