Solomon Mulugeta appeals a judgment denying a writ of administrative mandamus, a state law remedy he first sought in the Superior Court for the City and County of San Francisco, to remedy an adverse decision in an employment grievance proceeding against his employer, the Regents of the University of California (“Regents”).
