PETITION FOR ALTERNATIVE WRIT OF } IDATE CCP § 1094.5 AND VEHICLE 2
CODE § 13559 TO SET ASIDE SUSPENSIO} OF DRIVING PRIVILEGE — DUI
12. This petition is further based onthe following evidence introduced at the APS
|
hearing:
a. Petitioner contends that the Respondent’s documents and record does not
amount to a preponderance of evidence, competent evidence, or sufficient prima facie proof that
Petitioner was driving a motor vehicle in violation of Cal. Veh. Code §23152;
b. On May 24, 2020, Petitioner was driving when an animal ran into the road,
directly in front of Petitioner’s path of travel, causing Petitioner to swerve to avoid colliding with
|
the animal resulting in Petitioner’s vehicle colliding with a nearby pole;
9 Cc. Petitioner tried to call for help, but he didn’t have any cellular service;
10 d. Petitioner traveled on foot until he had cellular service, at which point he
11 called his wife to pick him up; i|
12 €. Petitioner then called his insurance company and law enforcement to report
|
13 the incident;
14 f. Following the incident, at approximately 1:33 a.m., Officer was dispatched
15 to a reported traffic collision in unincorporated Stanislaus County, with unknown circumstances,
|
16 arriving on scene at approximately 2:30 a.m. When Officer arrived, the vehicle was empty and
17 there was nobody around, There was no indication of when the accident had occurred;
18 g Officer arrived at Petitioner’s home at approximately 3:08 a.m., at which
|
19 time Petitioner provided the aforementioned information to Officer;
20 h. Officer noted that he observed that Petitioner had red watery eyes, thick
21 slurred speech, and a smell of alcohol from his breath, though no unsteady gait was noted;
22 1. Petitioner denied drinking before the incident, and admitted that he had
23 consumed alcohol after he arrived home;
24 a Petitioner was compli: with Officer’s investigation and completed one
25 preliminary alcohol screening breath test, an own length of time after the collision. The breath
26 results read a .097% at 3:32 a.m. Petitioner was arrested for a violation of Veh. Code § 23132(a).

k, Expert forensic toxicologist Abigail O’Rourke testified as to a hypothetical
situation which relied on an assumption that an accident occurred between 11:00 p.m. and 1:20 a.m.
Officer had information that Petitioner had shopped at a particular store that closed at 11:00 p.m.
Based on the hypothetical facts given, Ms. O’Rourke testified that a person would have tested
-147% at 11:00 p.m. and .102% at 1:20 a.m. > 1
1 Petitioner was unrepresented at the APS hearing. Hearing Officer Gutierrez
overruled his objections as to the admission ofidocumentary evidence into the record, and did not
afford him an opportunity to object to the owe testimony; and,
9 m. Hearing Officer Gutierrez was aware that Petitioner had been in a car
10 accident. She was advised that he had hit his Head hard, and that he was having difficulty recalling
11 the incident details, specifically time.
12 13. Following the order of suspension (see Exhibit C), Petitioner retained counsel who
13 requested that Respondent conduct an administrative review of the hearing and its decision.
14 Counsel argued: (1) that there were hearsay and admissibility issued with the Traffic Collision
15 Report Narrative/Supplemental Attached to the DUI Investigation Report; (2) There was
16 insufficient information to find that the chemical test occurred within three hours of the collision;
17 (3) and that Ms. O’Rourke’s expert opinion is speculative and unreliable. Counsel ultimately
18 concluded Respondent could not make a legitimate, evidence-based finding that Petitioner’s blood
19 alcohol content was 0.08% at the time of the riving conduct. A copy of the aforementioned
20 department review request is attached hereto “Exhibit D”.
21 14. Respondent denied Petitioner’s Feaqnest for an Administrative Department Review on
22 October 14, 2020. A copy of said denial is attached hereto and referenced as “Exhibit E”)
|
23 15. Accordingly, this petition is male on the ground that Respondent’s decision to
24 suspend Petitioner’s license is invalid under Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. §1094.5. Respondent’s
25 findings are not supported by the weight of evidence; thus, constituting a prejudicial abuse of
26 discretion.
27 16. Respondent has exceeded its at jority by making unreasonable inferences and

2631 W March La Ste 29
conclusions, it has acted in an arbitrary and cay pricious manner, and made a determination which is

|
not supported by any evidence in that the record fails to establish that Petitioner was driving motor
vehicle with a .08 or higher blood-alcohol level and, thus, that Petitioner was lawfully arrested.
17. Petitioner reserves the right to file supplemental points and authorities in support
of the petition herein and does, in fact, anticipate filing said points and authorities upon receipt
of the APS hearing transcript and complete record in this matter.
18. No other speedy or adequate remedy: Petitioner does not have an alternative
plain, speedy, or adequate remedy at law, notwithstanding this petition, because his only other
recourse is an administrative review conducted by Respondent; which has already been submitted
and ruled on, upholding the respondent’s decision.
10 19. Moreover, a mandamus is the proper remedy for judicial review of an administrative
11 action. See, Grant v. Board of Medical Examiners (1965) 232 Cal.App.2d 820; see also, Los
12 Angeles County v. Tax Appeals Board (1968) 267 Cal.App.2d 830.
13 20. |
Petitioner is beneficially interested in this action because Petitioner is a party
14 directly affected by the action of Respondent in suspending his privilege to operate a motor vehicle
15 21. Petitioner’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle is not suspended or revoked for any
16 reason other than those stated in this petition.
17 22. As required by California Rule of Court, rule 3.1142, a copy of Petitioner’s driving
18 record from the California Department of Motor Vehicles is attached to this petition and referenced
19 herein as “Exhibit F”.
20 WHEREFORE PETITIONER PRAYS|AS FOLLOWS:
21 1. An alternative writ of mandate issue|under the seal of the Court commanding Respondent
22 Director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles to set aside and life its suspension of
23 Petitioner’s driving privilege or to show cause |before the Court at a time and place to be specified
24 by the Court why it has not done so, and why 4 peremptory writ should not issue.
