FepensORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF ADMINISTRATIVE




This matter is before the court on a petition for writ of administrative mandate pursuant to
Code of Civil Procedure 1094.5 only. (Pet., 4] 1.)

On January 15, 2020, the Police Permit Review Panel (the Panel) for the City of Los Angeles
Respondent, denied a Police Commission Permit (police permit) to Petitioner, 603 Investments,
LLC, to operate a “topless cabaret” at 13324 Sherman Way. (AR 202.) Through its petition
before this court, Petitioner 603 Investments contends the Panel’s decision constituted an
abuse of discretion

In addition, the petition separately alleges the City confiscated and revoked the police permit of
Petitioner, Burlesque Enterprise, Inc., without due process of law for two reasons. First, the City
allegedly failed to provide Petitioner Burlesque Enterprises with reasonable or proper notice of
the basis for the permit’s confiscation and/or revocation. Second, the City allegedly did not give
Petitioner Burlesque Enterprises an opportunity to be heard before the alleged confiscation
and/or revocation

Petitioners jointly request the court issue a writ of mandate setting aside (1) the Panel’s
January 15, 2020 decision denying Petitioner 603 Investments application for a police permit:
and (2) the City’s revocation and/or confiscation of Petitioner Burlesque Enterprise’s police
permit. Petitioners further seek an order granting Petitioner 603 Investments’ application for a
police permit and returning Petitioner Burlesque Enterprise’s police permit to it.


The City opposes the petition

The Petition is DENIED
