Casas v. City of Baldwin Park CA2/5
Plaintiff and appellant Julian Casas (Casas) sought a writ of mandate to compel defendants and respondents City of Baldwin Park (the City) and City Manager Vijay Singh (collectively, defendants) to produce records pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA or “the Act”). The trial court issued the writ, requiring production of certain specified records. Disputes then arose between Casas and defendants about whether defendants had produced all responsive records, and the trial court entertained two motions to compel compliance with the writ it issued. We consider whether the trial court was correct when it eventually determined defendants established they had produced records as ordered. We also consider Casas’s contention that the trial court erred in taxing the entirety of the costs he claimed in connection with prevailing on his petition for a writ of mandate.
