Suprema Meats, Inc. v. City of Oakland CA1/1
In October 2014, plaintiff Suprema Meats, Inc. (Suprema) entered a compliance plan with defendant City of Oakland (City) to address various violations of the Oakland Municipal Code (OMC) at Suprema’s warehouse. The following summer, the City cited Suprema for 22 violations of this plan based on forklift activity. Suprema administratively appealed the citations, and a hearing officer denied the appeal in part, ordering the company to pay a fine of $9,500 for six violations.
Suprema then initiated this action by filing a petition for writ of administrative mandamus, which the trial court denied. On appeal, Suprema contends that the hearing officer’s decision denied it due process, was in excess of jurisdiction, and lacked substantial evidence. We conclude that two of the violations are not supported by sufficient evidence, but we otherwise reject Suprema’s claims and affirm.
