PZLDF Case Fizzles Out

Just got a court notification that the long-time-ongoing-seemingly-neverending PZLDF case, or "Citizens for Clean Water v. Regional Water Quality Control Board" case number B231945 has finally ended as a "voluntary dismissal."

You can read what I got at this link:
http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/disposition.cfm?dist=2&doc_id=1974927&q=319766&f=558848379

Case: B231945, 2nd District, Division 6

Disposition date (YYYY-MM-DD):        2012-10-25
Disposition description:            Affirmed in full
Disposition status as of 2012-10-25:    Final 
Notes:  
AFF/17p/YGP 

A definition from http://definitions.uslegal.com/v/voluntary-dismissal/ says,
"Voluntary dismissal refers to the termination of a suit at the request of the plaintiff in a suit. The plaintiff is the party who initially filed a law suit with the court. In a voluntary dismissal, the plaintiff voluntarily withdraws the action or claim it brought before the court."

Reading the brief, it was clear, even though it is not to be published, PZLDF basically has no case. Whatever hopes there were to eliminate the Prohibition Zone, AKA the circumscribed area drawn for necessary sewer-hood, and the hope that it could be broken, thereby meaning we don't need to get a sewer—d-a-s-h-e-d.

Last tidbit—PZLDF must pay the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board's costs.
