Season 8, Episode 36
Counting Down to October 2
We are counting down the weeks until our writ of mandate is heard on October 2.
In simple terms, we're asking the court to order the California Fish and Game Commission to do its job and finish processing our petition for regulation change.
There's a lot to do between now and then. Besides organizing our arguments, I have another worry: missing some procedure or deadline.
So ChatGPT and I have the important dates covered:
Wednesday, September 30
Review Department 16B's procedures and make sure I know exactly where the tentative ruling will be posted.
Thursday, October 1 at 2:00 p.m.
Check the tentative ruling. If we want oral argument, we may have only until
4:00 p.m. to request it and notify the State.
Friday, October 2 at 11:00 a.m.
Demurrer hearing, Sacramento Superior Court, Department 16B.
Who, me? A bundle of nerves?
I'm making lists, checking them twice, and trying to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
And since I've gone this far, I'll make a prediction.
I think we'll win on two counts and lose on one. I think we'll survive the demurrer. And I think Fish and Game will find new ways to make things difficult.
But I also think we'll know what to do next.
That's what your Five Dollar Ferret Friday donations make possible. We're still here, we're still fighting, and on October 2 we're finally going to get our day in court.
