Congratulations to SMTD partner Jonathan Dunn for successfully representing our client in Golden State Boring & Pipe Jacking v. Eastern Municipal Water District, 2014 WL 3615942.  The Court, in a 2-1 decision, held that the period to file suit on a payment bond was six months following the end of the period during which stop notices could be filed, that a cessation of labor on the project for at least 30 days started the suit limitation period, and that the recording of a notice of completion after the time to file stop notices expired did not restart the limitation period.
