King v. Regents of University of California

We are presented with a petition for writ of mandate filed on behalf of the People of the State of California, seeking the annulment of a trial court order dismissing an application to extend the time of Youth Authority control over Vernal D., the real party in interest. We issued a stay of the superior court dismissal, and ordered that Vernal D. not be released from confinement under the California Youth Authority commitment, pending resolution of the within writ petition.
