In Brown Co. v. Appellate Department (1983) 148 Cal. App. 3d 891, 903-904, 196 Cal. Rptr. 258, the appellate division denied certification and the aggrieved party sought a writ of mandate from the Court of Appeal. The court concluded that the propriety of mandamus relief would be "dubious" in light of the fact that the petitioner had obtained full appellate review in the appellate division. The court also noted that the petitioner had not been precluded from filing briefs or presenting oral argument; he obtained a fair hearing in the appellate division of the superior court.
