ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. Since § 44-30-520 is similar to §12-47.1-521 as it existed prior to its 2018 relocation to this section, relevant cases construing that provision have been included in the annotations to this section.
This section barred the district court from considering a complaint regarding a final action of an agency. Agency provided for entertaining and disposing of petitions for declaratory orders. When, as here, a claimant is provided with relief, the extraordinary provisions of C.R.C.P. 57 and 106 are not available. Purcell v. Colo. Div. of Gaming, 919 P.2d 905 (Colo. App. 1996).
This section gives the court of appeals exclusive jurisdiction to review the rule-making actions of the commission. The plain meaning of this section, read with §§ 24-4-106 (11) and 24-4-107, is that the review of all final actions of the commission, including rule-making actions, is to be sought solely in the court of appeals. The phrase "a final action" means any final action of the commission, including both adjudicatory orders and rule-making actions. The word "may" in this section merely indicates the general assembly's intent to confer a right of review, which an aggrieved individual may or may not exercise. The extraordinary provisions of C.R.C.P. 57 and 106 are not available to the claimants because the relief the claimants have is adequate. County Comm'rs of Gilpin v. City of Black Hawk, 2012 COA 172, 292 P.3d 1172.
