§ 1-8.112. Right to judicial review.

(a)

The appellant may seek judicial review of the hearing administrator's decision by filing an appeal with the Superior Court within twenty (20) calendar days after the appellant receives a copy of the Notice of Decision at the conclusion of the hearing in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section 53069.4. The appeal filed with the court must also contain a proof of service showing a copy of the appeal was served upon "City of Simi Valley (Attention: City Attorney)." The appellant must pay to the Superior Court the appropriate filing fee when the appeal is filed.

(b)

No appeal is permitted from a decision where the appellant is deemed to have abandoned the contest of the Notice and Order by an unexcused failure to appear at the hearing.

(c)

The City Attorney or the City Attorney's designee shall forward to the Superior Court within fifteen (15) days of its request, the pertinent Notice and Order documents for any case appealed to that Court. If the Superior Court revokes any Notice and Order, the City will refund the Superior Court filing fee paid by the appellant.
