Forty-Niner Sierra Resources v. New Motor Vehicle Board
This is an appeal from a judgment denying a petition for a writ of administrative mandamus seeking to overturn a decision by the New Motor Vehicle Board (the Board). (Veh. Code, 3000.) The Board rejected the protest claim of appellant Forty-Niner Sierra Resources, Inc., a Subaru dealer, and Richard E. Wilmshurst, its owner (collectively, Forty-Niner) that real party in interest and respondent Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) was not affording reasonable reimbursement for warranty work. The rejection was on the ground of res judicata, because the claim had been determined adversely to Forty-Niner in an earlier federal court judgment. The trial court agreed with the Board. Forty-Niner contends that the trial court erred in this conclusion. Finding no merit in the contention, Court affirm the judgment.
