Milpitas Coalition For A Better Community v. City of Milpitas
Appellant Milpitas Coalition For A Better Community (Coalition) challenges the trial court’s judgment denying its petition for a writ of mandate. The trial court’s judgment followed from its grant of the motions of respondent City of Milpitas (the City) and real party in interest David M. Jordan for judgment on the pleadings. The City and Jordan contended that Coalition’s action could not proceed because it had failed to join Walmart as an indispensable party. Coalition contends on appeal that Walmart was neither a necessary nor an indispensable party. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Walmart was a necessary and indispensable party. We therefore affirm the judgment.
