GDB defended a quarry operator against a lawsuit seeking damages based upon breach of contract and lien foreclosure. GDB successfully obtained summary adjudication on the lien foreclosure claim brought pursuant to California Civil Code Section 3060. An appellate court affirmed the trial court decision in favor of GDB’s client, holding the asserted lien did not qualify as a mining lien in accordance with the Civil Code. (Sukut Construction, Inc. v. Rimrock CA, LLC (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 817.)
