2834 The mere recital of excusable neglect is not sufficient to warrant relief from the claim requirements of the GovC, but must be supported by a showing that the failure to timely present a claim was reasonable, so a plaintiff's attorney's failure to file a claim against a public entity that was identified in a police report as a prospective defendant was inexcusable.CitationDEPT OF WATER AND POWER OF THE CITY OF LA v SUPERIOR COURT (Inexcusable Neglect) 82 CA4 1288 [See: GovC 945.4 etseq, 911.2; Ebersol v Cowan 35 C3 427; Rojes v Riverside 203 CA3 1151; Munoz v State 33 CA4 1767, T/AT 5/95]
