Opinion
BRUINIERS, J.
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suspended Benito Garcia’s (Garcia) driving privileges for refusal to submit to, or failure to complete, a chemical test for blood-alcohol content (Veh. Code, § 13353, subd. (a)(1)). Garcia sought an order from the trial court, via petition for writ of administrative mandamus (§ 13559, subd. (a); Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5), directing the DMV to set aside the suspension. He appeals the trial court’s denial of his petition. Garcia argues that he did not refuse a chemical test of his blood-alcohol content. We affirm.
