Be still, Meinhardt!

In today's opinion in Meinhardt v. City of Sunnyvale the Cal Supremes finally resolve an appellate annoyance by creating a clear rule:

we adopt a “bright line[]” rule [cite] that the time to appeal in administrative mandate proceedings starts to run with entry of “judgment” or service of notice of entry of “judgment,” rather than with the filing of, or service of notice of the filing of, an “order,” minute order, or other ruling.
