California Corporations Code Section 15625

(a) If a general partner required by this article to execute or file a certificate of limited partnership fails after demand to do so within a reasonable time or refuses to do so, any other partner, or any person appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, may prepare, execute, and file with the Secretary of State a certificate of limited partnership. (b) If a general partner required by this article to execute any certificate fails to do so within a reasonable time or refuses to do so, or if there is any dispute concerning the filing of a certificate of amendment, a certificate of continuation, a certificate of dissolution, or a certificate of cancellation of limited partnership, or the failure to file any of those certificates, any partner may petition the superior court to direct the execution of the certificate. If the court finds that it is proper for the certificate to be executed and that any person so designated has failed or refused to execute the certificate, or if the court determines that any certificate should be filed, it shall order a party to file a certificate on the appropriate form prescribed by the Secretary of State, as ordered by the court. In any action under this subdivision, if the court finds the failure of the general partner to comply with the requirement to file any certificate to have been without justification, the court may award an amount sufficient to reimburse the partners bringing the action for the reasonable expenses incurred by the partners, including attorneys` fees, in connection with the action or proceeding. (c) Any person, other than a general partner, filing any certificate under this chapter, shall state the statutory authority after the signature on the appropriate certificate.
