Certified Unified Program Agency v. Eastgate Petro
Eastgate Petroleum, LLC (Eastgate) appeals an order denying its motion to vacate a judgment (Code Civ. Proc., § 473 ) against it. The judgment was entered following an administrative decision in which civil penalties were assessed against Eastgate for violation of environmental regulations relating to hazardous materials. (Health & Saf. Code, § 25404.1.3.) Eastgate did not timely file a petition to review the administrative decision.
We conclude, among other things, that 1) the judgment is enforceable against Eastgate; 2) the trial court did not err by denying Eastgate’s motion to vacate the judgment for counsel error (§ 473, subd. (b)); and 3) the trial court did not abuse its discretion by not staying the proceedings. We affirm.
