Graham v. County of Sutter CA3
Appellant Gorden Graham (Graham) appeals from denial of his request for a writ of mandate requiring Respondent County of Sutter (Sutter County) to provide him a post-termination arbitration proceeding after he failed to comply with the deadline for requesting arbitrators to advance that proceeding. The trial court denied Graham’s request finding he had no beneficial interest in the arbitration proceeding and had been afforded the opportunity to have that proceeding. It further found Sutter County did not abuse its discretion in denying him relief from his noncompliance with the deadline to move forward with the arbitration proceeding. Finally, it found his claims were barred by laches because of the unreasonable and unexplained delay in instituting the writ proceeding that prejudiced Sutter County, the county having hired a replacement for his job by the time the writ was filed.
