What is the statute of limitations for a mandamus action where no other period of time is specified?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from County of San Diego v. Assessment Appeals Bd. No. 2, 148 Cal.App.3d 548, 195 Cal.Rptr. 895 (Cal. App. 1983):

The statute of limitations for ordinary civil actions applies where no other period of time is specified ( 1109, 363). Depending on the specific nature of the right asserted, a three or four-year period usually applies in similar mandamus proceedings (County of Sacramento v. Assessment Appeals Bd. No. 2, supra, 32 Cal.App.3d 654, 661-662, 108 Cal.Rptr. 434). Even if a one-year statute applied, the County filed within the time limit.
