ORDER ON LOG MOTION TO CLARIFY AMENDED JUDGMENT

AND RELATED CROSS-ACTIONS AND ACTIONS CONSOLIDATED FOR ALL PURPOSES

1 E-FILED: Jun 17, 2015 2:05 PM, Superior Court of CA, County of Santa Clara, Case #1-97-CV-770214 Filing #G-73762

The above entitled matter came on regularly for on March 13, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 21, the Honorable Joseph H. Huber presiding. The appearances are as stated in the record. The Court, having read and considered the supporting and opposing papers, and having heard and considered the arguments of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, makes the following order: The log party's motion to clarify the amended judgment is DENIED.

DISCUSSION Plaintiff argues that this Court's Amended Judgment filed on April 17th 2014 does not sufficiently protect them from post-judgment prescription by the Defendant Public Water Suppliers. Relying on City of Los Angeles v. City of San Fernando (1975) 14 Cal 3d 199, they request this Court further protect their overlying groundwater rights from post judgment prescription. This contention is not supported by or public policy.

In City of Los Angeles, Plaintiff Los Angeles wanted to quiet title and obtain a declaration of its prior rights to the water underlying the Upper Los Angeles River Area. The Court held that the City of Los Angeles had a priority right to the surface water, the groundwater runoff, and the return water from the San Fernando basin. Here, in this motion, Plaintiff LOG argues that in following City of Los Angeles, this Court also "should declare such prospective uses paramount to any right of the appropriator. By such , the rights of the riparian will be fully protected against the appropriative use ripening into a right by prescription." (Ibid) As explained further below, the Court's actual finding is very limited and does not apply here. However, even if were to apply, there is no mandatory language in the Court's decision. Though the LOG parties argue that this Court must act, the language is clearly discretionary. Furthermore, City of Los Angeles' holdings are largely based upon pueblo rights. Pueblo rights are paramount in the hierarchy of water rights including that of prescriptive water right owners. (Ibid at 252). Pueblo rights are uniquely grounded in Spanish and Mexican history, and are only applicable to pueblos that existed before 1849 (Ibid at 252). As a result, pueblos are

largely in Southern California. Santa Maria is not considered..a part of the original California

2 E-FILED: Jun 17, 2015 2:05 PM, Superior Court of CA, County of Santa Clara, Case #1-97-CV-770214 Filing #G-73762

pueblos, and therefore the case law largely does not apply. Here, the rights at issue in this case are not pueblo rights, but are in fact overlying rights. Overlying rights have and always remain subject to adverse prescriptive claims. (Peabody v. City of Vallejo (1935) 2 Cal 2d 351, 374) Moreover, City of Los Angeles' heavily cited holding is actually very narrow and is inapplicable to Plaintiff's case. The Court made clear that "for the purpose of protection against prescription, the declaratory judgment was as effective as if it had explicitly restrained defendants from asserting any right to the water except in subordination to plaintiff's paramount right" (Ibid at 269). Contrary to Plaintiff's arguments, this finding does not illuminate a gaping vulnerability in the amended judgment. Again, the holding is based upon the City's prior and paramount right to the water. The Court makes clear that the declaratory judgment essentially was an explicit restraint on defendants because of the paramount nature of pueblo rights. The Court is justifying the procedure that the City of Los Angeles used to get relief. Because Los Angeles used declaratory relief instead of injunctive, the Court was simply finding that the declaratory judgment was for all intents and purposes "explicitly restraining" the other party from eroding their rights. Additionally, the relief that Plaintiff requested in their initial action was neither injunctive or declaratory. The only relief they requested was of a quiet title action. A quiet title decree may no take the form of an . (Reiner v. Schroeder (1905) 146 Cal. 411). As a result, Plaintiff cannot go back in time and now argue that they intended (or now want) injunctive or declaratory relief. Again, the law of City of Los Angeles is further inapplicable to Plaintiff's case. Though Plaintiffs argue that it would be "judicially inefficient" to require that they initiate additional litigation to protect their groundwater rights, the public policy has always been in favor of this "pro-activity." As stated by Santa Maria v. Adam 211 Cal App 4th 266, "landowners may limit prescriptive rights by showing that although they had not sought an injunction during the prescriptive period, they exercised self help." By exercising self help, they must continually pump; this is their main mechanism to diligently protect their rights. Therefore, the public and judicial policy has always been about encouraging individuals to enforce their rights instead of "sitting" on their rights and then raising issue when it has become prejudicial to defendants. Lastly, the language of the Amended Judgment provides for "adjustments for the amounts of the native Basin groundwater lost to the prior prescriptive rights," by leaving open the possibility of adverse prescriptive rights occurring in the future. In light of the "looming water supply

3 E-FILED: Jun 17, 2015 2:05 PM, Superior Court of CA, County of Santa Clara, Case #1-97-CV-770214 Filing #G-73762

disaster" that Plaintiffs alludes to, practically, it should require constant judicial monitoring. This is the only way to ensure the reasonable and beneficial use of the water supply in the state. (Peabody v. City of Vallejo (1935) 2 Cal 2d 351, 382)
