Description
This matter involves the consolidation of two separate actions initiated in Pierce County Superior Court. In one action, Don Herron, Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney, appeals the denial of his petition for an extraordinary writ to halt the election recall proceeding initiated against him by Ron Lopp, challenging the petition's sufficiency under RCW 29.82.010. In the other action, Lopp appeals the denial of his petition for an extraordinary writ to prevent Herron from appointing the Mason County Prosecuting Attorney to review the recall charges, challenging Herron's statutory authority to make such an appointment. We hold that Herron acted within the scope of his authority in making the appointment, and that the trial court did not err in denying Lopp's writ petition. We further hold that the recall charge levied against Herron is legally insufficient under RCW 29.82.010 to serve as the basis for a recall election. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's denial of Herron's petition.
