Rash v. Town of Mammoth

OPINION

HOWARD, Chief Judge.

¶ 1 In this appeal from a statutory special action, appellant Samuel Rash appeals the trial court’s dismissal of his claims challenging his termination from the Town of Mammoth police force. On appeal, he argues the court erred by finding the time limits of the Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure applicable to statutory special actions and in concluding that the doctrine of laches would otherwise bar his claims. Because we conclude the court erred in applying the procedural rules and the laches doctrine, we vacate and remand.
