Citation Appeal - 1st Level
If you wish to contest a parking citation, you may appeal the parking citation by submitting a citation appeal within 21 calendar days from the date of the parking citation or 14 calendar days from the mailing of the notice of delinquent parking violation (Section 40215 of the CVC). The appeal request is for citation review only. Submittal of this request does not mean that your citation will be automatically dismissed. Your request will be carefully reviewed and you will be notified by mail of the disposition of your request. During the review process, the citation will be suspended pending the result of the review.
Please allow 7-10 business days for the review process. The disposition of your appeal will be emailed to you. If you do not receive the disposition within a reasonable amount of time, it is your responsibility to call (805) 546-3205 or email the Campus Police Dept. (ccpd@cuesta.edu) to check on the result.
Administrative Hearing - 2nd Level
If you are dissatisfied with the results of the initial review, you may request an Administrative Hearing of the violation no later than 21 calendar days following the mailing of the results of the initial review. The Administrative Hearing Request is available online by clicking on the green button above. The hearings are conducted in person, via telephone or Zoom, or by mail. The fine amount must be paid either online, personal check or money order to proceed with a hearing. If paying the fine prior to the hearing is a hardship, you may complete the waiver.
Court - 3rd Level
You have the right to appeal the final determination of the Hearing Officer to the San Luis Obispo Superior Court within thirty (30) days of the mailing date of the result of your hearing. A $25 court filing fee will be required by the Superior Court. This filing fee will need to be deposited with the court. If the citation is upheld, the citation fine will be retained by 51爆料 and the court filing fee will be retained by the Superior Court. Both payments will be returned to you if the court dismisses your citation.
