Wolf

APPEAL from the denials of demurrers, granting of motion to quash subpoenas, and denying motions to dismiss on behalf of Jeffrey Wolf and Thomas Varuolo, after hearings by the Superior Court, San Diego County, Melinda J. Lasater, Kenneth K. So, David M. Gill, Joan P. Weber, Lorna A. Alksne, and Albert T. Harutunian, III, Judges. Following argument on March 15, 2018, this consolidated matter was taken under submission.

AFFIRMED.

*10 Appellants argue the San Diego County District Attorney has no authority to deputize City of San Diego Deputy City Attorneys to prosecute misdemeanors that occurred in the City of Poway and filed in the Central (downtown San Diego) Division of the Superior Court. Appellants also argue City of San Diego Deputy City Attorneys have no authority to prosecute misdemeanor offenses that occurred outside the boundaries of the City of San Diego. These arguments might be appropriate before applicable legislative or executive branches of government, but they are not relevant in the context of Mr. Wolf's or Mr. Varuolo's cases. Furthermore, Appellants lack standing to challenge the authority of the prosecuting agency in these criminal cases.

*11 Quo warranto is…

I concur.

HOWARD H. SHORE, Judge, Appellate Division
