Billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla was dealt a new setback in his 15-year fight to block public access through his private property to a popular surfing spot south of San Francisco.

A California state judge issued a tentative ruling Friday denying Khosla’s request to throw out a lawsuit brought by a state agency that says the billionaire has no right to close Martins Beach to the public.
