Baldoni vs. Hill

sought an order setting aside the ACLO in its entirety. (See ROA #106.)

The second step of this analysis identifies the relief actually obtained through the court and the third step addresses both parties’ litigation objectives, which involves a review of their pleadings, briefs and other sources.

The court is familiar with this litigation and has reviewed the case files.

Petitioners did not achieve their goal of setting aside the ACLO in its entirety. While the court found that Respondent’s findings of the volume discharge calculations were not supported by substantial evidence, the court did not find that Respondent lacked authority to impose a penalty based on the quantity of stormwater discharged. Further, Petitioners unsuccessfully advanced numerous challenges, both substantive and procedural, to the ACLO.

The court finds that neither Petitioners nor Respondent are prevailing parties for purposes of Section 1032(a)(4).

Therefore, neither party is entitled to an award of costs and the court will grant the motion to strike costs.

Respondent shall give notice of this ruling.
