IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION TWO
ROBERT MANN, B328374
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 20STCV21366) v.
STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Michael P. Linfield and Maurice A. Leiter, Judges. Reversed.
Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Jodi L. Cleesattle, Assistant Attorney General, Catherine Woodbridge and Donna M. Dean, Deputy Attorneys General, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. The State of California and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) appeal from a judgment granting injunctive relief requiring it to revise its vehicle impound procedures. CHP contends the injunction improperly requires it to contravene valid statutes, relies on inapplicable case law, conflicts with the existing statutory scheme, and mandates unnecessary revisions to its notice procedures. We agree and reverse.
