United States District Court 7 Eastern District of California 8 Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 1 of 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 8 9 MICHAEL TATER-ALEXANDER, CASE NO. 1:10-cv-01050-AWI-SMS 10 Plaintiff, 11 SCREENING ORDER v. 12 COUNTY OF FRESNO, et al., 13 14 Defendants. (Doc. 2) / 15 16 Screening Order 17 Plaintiff Michael Tater-Alexander challenges the constitutionality of California Vehicle 18 Code § 4760, which requires the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to refuse to 19 20 renew a vehicle’s registration if the owner or lessee has been mailed a notice of a delinquent 21 parking violation. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed his complaint on June 22 10, 2010. He seeks damages and equitable relief. This matter has been referred to the magistrate 23 judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304. 24 /// 25 /// 26 27 -1- Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 2 of 20 1 I. Screening Requirement 2 A court has inherent power to control its docket and the disposition of its cases with 3 economy of time and effort for both the court and the parties. Landis v. North American Co., 299 4 U.S. 248, 254-55 (1936); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 5 6 U.S. 915 (1992). In cases in which the plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, the Court must 7 screen the complaint and must dismiss it at any time if it concludes that the action or appeal is 8 frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary 9 relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). 10 “Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion thereof, that may have been paid, the court shall 11 12 dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that . the action or appeal . fails to state a 13 claim upon which relief may be granted.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 14 II. Background 15 A. Contesting Parking Tickets in California 16 California law considers parking violations as civil offenses subject to civil penalties and 17 18 administrative enforcement. California Vehicle Code §§ 40200, 40203.5(b). The statutory scheme 19 sets forth a two-step process for contesting a parking ticket. First, within 21 days of the issuance of 20 the ticket the person may request review by the processing agency. California Vehicle Code § 21 40215(a). The processing agency must then conduct an investigation, either with its own staff or 22 by the issuing agency. California Vehicle Code §§ 40215(a)(1).) If the person is not satisfied with 23 24 the results of this initial review, he or she may then request “administrative review,” consisting of a 25 hearing before an examiner. California Vehicle Code § 40215(a). The request for administrative 26 review must be made within 21 days following the mailing of the results of the initial review. 27 -2- Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 3 of 20 1 California Vehicle Code § 40215(b). The person requesting an administrative hearing shall deposit 2 the full amount of the parking penalty or shall follow the processing agency’s procedure for 3 providing satisfactory proof of an inability to pay the amount due. California Vehicle Code § 4 40215(b). After exhausting this administrative review process, the contestant may obtain judicial 5 6 review of the decision of the hearing examiner by filing an appeal in the superior court. California 7 Vehicle Code § 40230. 8 If the parking violator does not contest the parking ticket and does not pay the parking 9 penalty, the processing agency may notify the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and the 10 DMV must then collect the unpaid penalties when the vehicle’s registration is renewed. California 11 12 Vehicle Code § 4760; 40220(a). In the alternative, if the violator has accumulated more than $400 13 in unpaid parking tickets, or if the vehicle’s registration is not renewed, then proof of the unpaid 14 parking tickets may be filed with the court with the same effect as a civil judgment. California 15 Vehicle Code § 40220(b) & (c). 16 B. Alleged Facts 17 18 On April 21, 2009, Plaintiff received a parking ticket from Defendant Fresno County. 19 Plaintiff alleges that he filed a “timely” request to dismiss the ticket, but provides no factual detail 20 from which the Court can evaluate his legal conclusion. Plaintiff also does not disclose the basis 21 of his request to dismiss the ticket. In an administrative decision dated May 26, 2009, and 22 postmarked May 29, 2009, Fresno County denied Plaintiff’s request, finding insufficient evidence 23 24 to dismiss. 25 /// 26 /// 27 -3- Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 4 of 20 1 On June 15, 2009, Plaintiff received a notice from Fresno County advising him that the 2 unpaid fine had doubled to $70.00 and that his vehicle registration could be withheld. On June 16, 3 2009, Plaintiff requested an administrative hearing. 4 On July 17, 2009, the registration of Plaintiff’s van expired. Because Plaintiff had not paid 5 6 the parking ticket, the California Department of Motor Vehicles refused to reregister it. Plaintiff 7 asked DMV for a hearing, which it denied. 8 Plaintiff continued to drive the van even though it was no longer registered. On September 9 6, 2009, Plaintiff was stopped by officers of Defendant Clovis Police Department and cited for 10 driving an unregistered vehicle in violation of California Vehicle Code § 4000(a)(1). Plaintiff 11 12 apparently refused to sign the citation and was arrested, handcuffed and taken to the emergency 13 room of Defendant Community Regional Medical Center. Plaintiff alleges that hospital personnel 14 tortured him by denying him his medicine for fourteen hours and denying his request to call his 15 attorneys. Plaintiff reports that he only signed the citation under protest after he sensed that he was 16 becoming hypoglycemic. 17 18 According to Plaintiff, the citation was tried in the Clovis branch of California Superior 19 Court. Plaintiff complains that the court denied his request to call expert witnesses from DMV. 20 Plaintiff also complains that Fresno County, DMV, and the Superior Court have denied his 21 requests for administrative hearings. On September 1, 2009, Plaintiff filed a damages claim with 22 Fresno County, which was denied on December 10, 2009. 23 24 C. Pleading Standards 25 “Rule 8(a)’s simplified pleading standard applies to all civil actions, with limited 26 exceptions,” none of which applies to § 1983 actions. Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N. A., 534 U.S. 506, 27 -4- Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 5 of 20 1 512 (2002). Pursuant to Rule 8(a), a complaint must contain “a short and plain statement of the 2 claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). “Such a statement 3 must simply give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff’s claim is and the grounds upon 4 which it rests.” Swierkiewicz, 534 U.S. at 512. Detailed factual allegations are not required, but 5 6 “[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of the cause of action, supported by mere conclusory 7 statements, do not suffice.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, ___ U.S. ___, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009), citing 8 Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007). “Plaintiff must set forth sufficient 9 factual matter accepted as true, to ‘state a claim that is plausible on its face.’” Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 10 1949, quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555. While factual allegations are accepted as true, legal 11 12 conclusions are not. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949. 13 Although accepted as true, “[f]actual allegations must be [sufficient] to raise a right to relief 14 above the speculative level.” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555 (citations omitted). A plaintiff must set 15 forth “the grounds of his entitlement to relief,” which “requires more than labels and conclusions, 16 and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action.” Id. at 555-56 (internal quotation 17 18 marks and citations omitted). To adequately state a claim against a defendant, plaintiff must set 19 forth the legal and factual basis for his claim. 20 Emphasizing legal conclusions but providing minimal facts, Plaintiff’s complaint fails to 21 satisfy these basic pleading requirements. The complaint simply does not provide sufficient facts 22 to permit the Court to evaluate Plaintiff’s claims. If Plaintiff elects to amend his complaint, as this 23 24 screening order permits him to do, his factual allegations must establish the elements from which 25 the Court may draw legal conclusions, rather than asserting legal conclusions without factual 26 background. For example, at paragraph 22, Plaintiff alleges that he “has timely complied with all 27 -5- Case 1:10-cv-01050-AWI -SMS Document 4 Filed 06/18/10 Page 6 of 20 1 of the provisions of the law as it relates to the parking ticket,” but he does not set forth sufficient 2 facts for the Court to evaluate the timeliness and legal sufficiency of his claim and reach a legal 3 conclusion.

    Filed 10/26/15 CERTIFIED FOR PUBLICATION SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA APPELLATE DIVISION THE PEOPLE, No. 1-14-AP-001652 Plaintiff and Appellant, Trial Ct. No. C1367965 v. STEVEN ALFRED AGNEW, OPINION Defendant and Respondent. The People appeal from the granting of respondent’s motion to suppress evidence of his blood draw in this prosecution for driving under the influence of alcohol. We find that, in granting the motion, the trial court did not examine the totality of the circumstances in the context of California’s implied consent law. We therefore reverse the granting of the motion to suppress and remand the case. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Defendant and respondent Steven Agnew was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in violation of both subdivisions (a) and (b) of Vehicle Code section 23152, misdemeanors. On February 4, 2014, he filed a motion to suppress evidence under Penal Code section 1538.5. At the conclusion of the hearing on February 14, 2014, the trial court granted the motion. Campbell Police Officer William Nunn testified at the hearing on the motion to suppress. Officer Nunn testified that, on September 9, 2013, at approximately 2:45 a.m., he pulled over respondent Steven Agnew for pulling away from the curb without signaling and for making an unsafe U-turn in a business district, violations of sections 24953(a) and 22102 of the 1 Vehicle Code. Respondent told Officer Nunn that he had come from a downtown bar/diner, where he drank three beers between 8 p.m. and midnight.

They experienced parallel and comparable evolution during the period 1923 to date.

  • Imputing Contributory Negligence of Driver to Vehicle Owner
    F MATTHIESEN, WICKERT & LEHRER, S.C. Wisconsin ❖ Louisiana ❖ California ❖ California Phone: (800) 637-9176 [email protected] www.mwl-law.com IMPUTING CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF DRIVER TO VEHICLE OWNER This chart concerns itself primarily with whether, and under what circumstances, the contributory negligence of a permissive user/driver of a motor vehicle will be imputed to the owner of that vehicle so as to defeat or reduce the owner’s recovery when the owner sues the driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision for either (1) personal injuries received by the owner while a passenger in the vehicle, or (2) property damage to the owner’s vehicle. This issue involves the concepts of both “imputed negligence” and “imputed contributory negligence.” The two concepts are related and often used interchangeably. Imputed Negligence: A form of vicarious liability. Under certain circumstances, the negligence of A is imputed to B, as a matter of social policy, resulting in B being liable for the damages caused by A’s negligence. In other words, imputed negligence is a blame attributed to B, not on the basis of B’s conduct, but because of the conduct of A for which B becomes legally responsible. For example, a parent can be held vicariously responsible for some acts of a child or an employer can be vicariously liable for the negligence of an employee. Imputed negligence occurs when negligence is imputed to a defendant. Imputed Contributory Negligence: Imputed contributory negligence occurs when negligence is imputed to a plaintiff. For example, the contributory negligence of an employee is imputed to an employer when the employer sues a tortfeasor involved in an accident with the employee.

  • Draft Glossary
    Introduction The park and recreation field is surprisingly complex. Its professionals are simultaneously involved in a myriad of activities ranging from landscape design to civil engineering, resource management, interpretation, public administration, program development, promotions, and finance. There is a wide range of legal, administrative and regulatory aspects, which define and link these subject areas. A basic and common understanding of the terms used in this wide range of subjects is important to the thousands of park and recreation professionals that currently work in California, whether at the city, district, county, state or federal level. It is also important to those who wish to support parks and recreation through non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, as volunteers or as private individuals. This publication is one in a series of informational and technical assistance publications produced by California State Parks. These documents – published under the common title of Concepts: Practical Tools for Parks and Recreation – are part of the continuing program associated with the California Outdoor Recreation Planning program. The inside of the back cover provides information on recently published documents that may be helpful to park and recreation professionals. A quick word of caution; if a law, section of a public resource code or other statutory document is referenced, it is strongly recommend that the reader use the full legal definition and language and not rely on the abbreviated version in this document. Also, some definitions differ by programs in various Bond Acts and the definitions provided in this document have been abbreviated.

CALIFORNIA'S IMPLIED CONSENT STATUTE: AN EXAMINATION AND EVALUATION by Walter Karabian* On October 6, 1966, California became the forty-third state to adopt an implied consent statute. The implied consent statute provides, in part, that "any person who drives a motor vehicle upon a highway shall be deemed to have given his consent to a chemical test of his blood, breath or urine for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of his blood if lawfully arrested for any offense allegedly committed while the per- son was driving a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicating liquor. ... If any such persons refuses ... to submit to a chemical test ... the department... shall suspend his privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a period of six months."' Little did the author of the bill and its proponents realize that, in less than two years, this law would cause more controversy and be the source of more litigation than any other motor vehicle legisla- tion in the history of California.
