Text: A few days later, on February 10, 1982, petitioner filed a complaint in Superior Court for a declaratory judgment that the sign permit was valid, as well as motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent removal of the sign. The court denied the motion for a TRO because of a failure to show irreparable injury. On February 12, 1982, petitioner filed a notice of appeal with the BAR. The BAR treated it as an appeal from the August 29, 1980, DLII revocation order and, on February 16, dismissed it as untimely filed. [3] On February 17, 1982, petitioner appealed to this court the denial of the TRO and, on the same day, filed a petition for review of the BAR's dismissal of his administrative appeal. This court granted a stay of the District's efforts to remove the sign pending our review of these matters. On April 6, 1982, the trial court denied petitioner's motion for a preliminary injunction and dismissed his complaint for declaratory judgment. Petitioner appealed these rulings. We consolidated that appeal with the petition for review of the BAR's dismissal of his administrative appeal (and dismissed the appeal from the court's denial of the TRO as moot).
