Division 1 Court of Appeals

Dana Rush et al v. State of Washington et ano

 

  • Dana Rush and Gary Wolf, on behalf of a class of community college teachers, filed a class action suit seeking retirement benefits allegedly denied by the State of Washington and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. The State moved to dismiss, arguing that the superior court lacked jurisdiction to decide the matter as it fell under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court denied the motion, but the State petitioned for discretionary review, which the Court of Appeals granted. On discretionary review, the State argues that the matter should have been dismissed because the APA provides the exclusive means of judicial review and that the matter is now untimely. COA# 874772. King County Superior Court# 21-2-04314-0 SEA.
