Victims of false and misleading representations by the California Coastal Commission

If you received a notice of violation, you were likely told by them that the decision was final and you have no right to appeal. That is an untrue statement. In fact, you have a right to appeal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5. Please consult legal representation if you have been deceived by this conduct to the detriment of your rights. Furthermore, the hearing process of the commission is fatally flawed, in many ways such that in my view it does not measure due process, among the reasons are limitations in time to effectively present a case and that you have no right to confront and examine witnesses. If they have threatened you with criminal prosecution, you may have a legal right to a trial by jury under a recent Supreme Court case SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. JARKESY ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT, No. 22–859. Argued November 29, 2023—Decided June 27, 2024. This is not intended to be legal advice, just a discussion, please consult a attorney if this is important to you and never rely on legal advise on this site or ai with is very often incorrect.
