Young v. Kelly CA4/1
Dallin Young appeals a judgment dismissing his petition for an alternative writ of mandate, which petition sought injunctive relief after Jacqueline M. Kelly, in her official capacity as City Clerk for the City of Imperial Beach (City), rejected his petitions for an initiative measure relating to City's marijuana regulations. In rejecting his petitions, Kelly cited their noncompliance with Elections Code section 9207's requirement that the petitions include a copy of the notice of intention to circulate petition that Young had previously filed with City and published. The petitions included City's title and summary for the proposed measure, the full text of the proposed measure, and a notice of intention to circulate petition but, unlike the notice filed with City, the petitions' notice twice included the adjective "medical" before the term "marijuana regulations."
