Riverside Superior Judge Kira Klatchko sustained three demurrers Feb. 9 against a case alleging Cathedral City is involved in an illegal lawyer referral service.
The case
Cathedral City has contracted with Data Ticket Inc. to process bails, fines and forfeitures since 2013, according to the second amended complaint from the self-represented artist David Koslow.

This is a form of legal referrals that violates state law, the complaint claims.
