Narrative:
Departing oxr for lax landing gear failed to retract. After considering all options and, by that time, our close proximity to lax, we opted to, and continued to lax and landed there without incident. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that he had been questioned by FAA and company for his reasons to go on to destination since the aircraft performance could not be guaranteed with 1 engine out. However, since the distance was small and all over open water (sea level). The decision was no problem. One recommendation came from him and the chief pilot was to have a procedure listed in the 'quick reference checklist.' there was none for this problem of action to take in case the gear does not retract. He further stated that maintenance found a hydraulic system problem that they had attempted to fix previously. It was a jetstream model 32.
