K.R.L. Partnership v. Superior Court
California Court of Appeal
[CERTIFIED FOR PARTIAL PUBLICATION*]
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion
ROBIE, J.
The question in this mandamus proceeding is one of first impression in California: whether a plaintiff/cross-defendant against whom a compulsory cross-complaint has been filed can seek a change of venue under section 396b of the Code of Civil Procedure 1 based on a claim of improper venue as determined by reference to the cross-complaint. We conclude the answer to that question is “no.” Accordingly, we will deny the petition for a writ of mandate.
