1107.15000 – Withdrawal of Appeal; Request that Decision be Vacated
The Board has discretion to grant or deny requests to withdraw and dismiss cases pending before the Board itself. (§§ 3509, subd. (a), 3541.3, subds. (i) and (n); PERB Reg. 32320, subd. (a)(2) [“The Board itself may . . . [¶] . . . take such other action as it considers proper.”]; County of Riverside (2020) PERB Decision No. 2707-M, p. 2.) The Board has a longstanding policy favoring voluntary settlement of disputes. (Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District (1980) PERB Order No. Ad-81a.) The Board generally grants such requests where it finds the request to be in the best interest of the parties and consistent with the purposes of the applicable Act. (See, e.g., County of Riverside, supra, PERB Decision No. 2707-M, p. 3; Sanitation Districts, supra, PERB Decision No. 2656-M, p. 2; Santa Rosa, supra, PERB Decision No. 2653-M, p. 2.)
