lt is we“ sewed thai a cohrtac'is in excess of itsjurisdiction where itrefuses

follow controlling auiheriiy and ez‘zirazofdinary relief can be given in such a

Discretion must be "guided and controlled by fixed legal principles, . . .
exercised In conformity with the spirit of the law and in a manner to serVe and not
to impede or defeat the ends of substantial justice "
(People v. Warner (1978) 20
Cal. 3d. 578 683.) In a legal sense, discretion is abused wheneverin the exercise
thereof the coun exce \ds the bounds of reason, all oI'
the Circumstances before
it being considered. LStaie Farm Inc. v. Superior Court (1956) 47 Cal. 2d 428
432.) Here, the ruiing the
by respondent court was beyon'd reason and was
therefore an abuse of discretion in excess of the respondent court's jurisdiction.
As such, a writ shouid issue. For these reasons. petitioner respectfully requests
that this Court grant the relief requested.
