County of Sacramento v. Sup. Ct., No. C062025
In an action against a county claiming violations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), denial of county's motion to dismiss is reversed as, construing section 21167.4 as a whole, a request for a hearing in an action alleging noncompliance with the CEQA must be made in a writing filed with the court to avoid dismissal, and here, the plaintiff failed to file a written hearing request within the time allowed.
