My question involves criminal records for the state of: California

I recently appealed a factual finding of innocence ruling in favor of the City Attorney. During the hearing, many of the basic items established in previous cases of a factual finding of innocence were not followed, because the judge had never seen one and likely did no research as he had to research the request while in court, the main one being that the judge specifically stated that he could not hear “after the fact” facts that would prove my innocence of the probable cause.

Since then, due to an agreement to settle a civil suit over the same issue, the City Attorney has filed papers in my appeal that say they will not contest my appeal, and have agreed to not argue against it in court.

So this is great news, as my argument is pretty solid, but I am wondering if anyone has general ideas on what to argue orally in court when my hearing comes up knowing that the City Attorney won’t fight back? When I wrote the original appeal, the non-opposition agreement was not made and I dove into the previous case law on the matter that pertained to when happened in court. Now, the City wants this to go in my favor just as much as I do with the pending agreement to end all matters civil and criminal. Do any cases come to mind where there was no argument against an action, nor would there be, that can be brought to the court room as added support? Any other ideas of argument I could look into to bring to the appeal panel?

I appreciate any help, this is the last step in a very long process I hope.
