Santa Teresa Citizen Action Group v. City of San Jose
Santa Teresa Citizen Action Group v. City of San Jose
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Santa Teresa Citizen Action Group and others (collectively, Santa Teresa) appeal the district court’s dismissal of their § 1983 action against the City of San Jose, the City Council of San Jose, and Ron Gonzalez, the mayor of San Jose. We affirm.
First, we deny Santa Teresa’s request to take judicial notice of an October 2002 document.
Finally, equitable tolling does not apply. Assuming no bad faith, the same parties were not part of Santa Teresa’s litigation against the California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission or in evidentiary privity with the defendants in that action, and the claims focused on different issues. Cervantes v. City of San Diego, 5 F.3d 1273, 1275 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth California’s three-part test); Collier v. City of Pasadena, 142 Cal.App.3d 917, 924, 928, 191 CaLRptr. 681 (Cal.App. 1983).
Given this disposition, it is unnecessary to reach the alternative grounds for affirmance advanced by San Jose.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
