The following excerpt is from Mir v. San Antonio Cmty. Hosp., E051012 (Cal. App. 2011):
Mir contends he was denied his right to judicial review because administrative agencies lack judicial power. However, it is axiomatic that for any party to proceed in an action in our courts, the party must comply with regular court procedures, and a party who proceeds in propria persona is held to the same rules of procedure as an attorney. (Burnete v. La Casa Dana Apartments (2007) 148 Cal.App.4th 1262, 1267.) We conclude that by failing to obtain a permit to file his action as required under section 391.7, subdivision (c), Mir has forfeited his right to judicial review.
