Opinion Question Conclusion(s) Issued
24-1002 DAVID E. KENNEY has applied for leave to sue MARK M. SKVARNA in quo warranto to remove him from the office of Superintendent of Schools for the Montebello Unified School District. We conclude that the application does not raise a substantial question of law or fact that would be cognizable in an action under Code of Civil Procedure section 803. For that reason, the application for leave to sue is DENIED.

24-802 The SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION has applied for leave to sue the CITY OF SAN DIEGO and the SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL in quo warranto. In a previous quo warranto lawsuit, the superior court invalidated San Diego City Charter provisions added by a 2012 ballot initiative, Proposition B. The Association contends that the earlier quo warranto judgment requires the City to restore pre-Proposition B benefits coverage in the San Diego Municipal Code. The Association’s proposed lawsuit meets all three of the Attorney General’s criteria to grant leave to sue: quo warranto is the appropriate remedy; the application raises a substantial legal issue; and resolution of that issue would serve the public interest. Consequently, we GRANT leave to sue. 04/22/2026
