Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Hello everyone,

I'm currently dealing with the CHP (California) who has been utilizing & enforcing an "Illegal Underground regulation" in the CHP Manual since the 1980's. This regulation has caused the termination of our "towing" contract with them (CHP) after 12 years of successful participation. This lost of contract has put our company in complete bankruptcy. I have done the following so far:

1 - I filed a petition with the Office of Admin Law against CHP using/enforcing an "Illegal Underground Regulation"; WON the petition. CHP had to remove

the illegal regulation and had to cease enforcing it.

2 - I filed a Tort claim which was denied.

3 - In the process of trying to file a "Petition of Relief" pursuant to GC 945.4 before I can file a lawsuit against them

My dilemma~~~~~I have filed everything myself up to this point; NOW I'M COMPLETELY LOST and clueless how to proceed from here :(:(:(:( I have no idea how to file the "petition of Relief" and I can't find an attorney to take this case due to the complexity.

I was hoping to obtain some information regarding the filing of a "Petition of Relief"................Can anyone please explain this process, is there a particular court document that I need to complete to preform this action? I believe I need to file in the 9th District court. Can't seem to find anyone to take this case on :-(

Thank you for any help you can provide.

There is no form for a petition for relief -- it is drafted by hand on pleading paper. It also would be filed in the Superior Court of the State of California.

Without reviewing your file, it is impossible to advise you as to your specific situation or whether your claim of tort has any merit.
