The California First Amended Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus is a form of legal relief used to challenge a state or local governmental agency’s decision that a party believes is unlawful. This petition is available to both individuals and organizations that have been adversely affected by the governmental agency’s action. It is filed with the California Superior Court and is a formal request to the court to compel the governmental agency to comply with the law. The First Amended Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus is divided into two types: a traditional mandamus petition and a special mandamus petition. The traditional mandamus petition is used to challenge a decision that was made on the basis of an administrative hearing, while the special mandamus petition is used to challenge a decision based on an administrative record. The California First Amended Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus includes information about the petitioner, a statement of facts, a statement of the claim, a request for relief, and a declaration. The petitioner must also include evidence and legal arguments to support their claim. If the petition is successful, the court will issue a writ of mandamus, which is an order to the governmental agency to take the action requested by the petitioner.
