Towers v. County of San Joaquin CA3
Plaintiff Roger Towers filed a petition for writ of administrative mandamus (the Petition), alleging that in 2014 the County of San Joaquin (the County) acted improperly in enacting County ordinance No. 4454, which benefitted mining operators by extending the previously approved deadline for initiating land use entitlements by an additional 24 months. Upon hearing the County’s motion to dismiss, the trial court concluded that Towers had failed to name the permit-holders and other beneficiaries of ordinance No. 4454 as real parties in interest, requiring dismissal due to the absence of indispensable parties.
