GRIGNON, J., Concurring and Dissenting.
I concur in the judgment and that portion of the majority opinion which concludes respondent court has subject matter jurisdiction to consider the merits of plaintiff’s claims concerning a proposed home study traffic school program. I dissent from that portion of the majority opinion relating to Code of Civil Procedure section 396 for two reasons. First, because we conclude respondent court has subject matter jurisdiction, Code of Civil Procedure section 396 is not applicable by its own terms (“If an action or proceeding is commenced in a court that lacks *238jurisdiction of the subject matter thereof . . .”). Accordingly, the entire discussion in the majority opinion is dictum. Second, I disagree on the merits for the reasons stated in Padilla v. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 1151, 1154-1147 [51 Cal.Rptr.2d 133],
On May 31, 2001, the opinion was modified to read as printed above.
