I submitted a CPRA request to a public school district on */*, followed by a superseding request on */* after the original was mischaracterized. I seek video footage of delivering a government negligence claim tort, information on similar discrimination incidents. The district acknowledged on */*, indicating an additional *-day period. They partially denied my request on */*, using vague citations. I challenged this denial on */*, after which they hired legal counsel on */*, reiterating their refusal. On */*, they provided a link requiring a login and password without explanation, and on */*, they concluded the request after providing some evidence related to demographics. I have yet to consult legal professionals. Could you advise on the necessary steps and documentation to file a verified petition for a writ of mandate in LA County Superior Court to enforce my requests, and whether local court rules apply given the respondent is a public school district?

Okay sorry may I ask when including facts in the petition would or should I have an exhibit of supporting evidence as well? Also are these going to be custom forms or SC forms?

When including facts in a petition, it is generally advisable to attach exhibits of supporting evidence to strengthen your case. Regarding forms, you can use Judicial Council forms if available, but often petitions for writs are custom-drafted. Consulting a legal professional is beneficial for such specific matters.
