Silicon Valley billionaire Vinod Khosla has launched another offensive in his long-running battle to restrict public access to Martins Beach — this time by suing San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos.

A new complaint filed in federal asserts that Bolanos is violating Khosla’s right to equal protection under the law because San Mateo County deputies won’t cite or remove people if they enter the private property Khosla owns surrounding the beach without paying a fee. Khosla’s suit contends those visitors are trespassers, and that the inaction of the Sheriff’s Office deprives him of his rights as a private property owner.
