Burgess v. Fair Political Practices Commission CA4
Defendant and appellant, Fair Political Practices Commission (the Commission), brought administrative proceedings against Frank Burgess for allegedly violating section 87100 of the Government Code, part of the Political Reform Act. (§ 81000 et seq.) The Commission ultimately concluded Burgess had violated section 87100 and imposed the maximum $5,000 fine. (§ 83116, subd. (c).) Burgess then filed a petition for writ of administrative mandamus and complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief. The trial court granted the petition and declaratory relief, but denied injunctive relief. The court ordered the Commission to set aside its decision and order and dismiss the administrative proceedings against Burgess.
