BENACH v. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES Part II
Undisputed evidence that peace officer was transferred from one bureau to another at the same rank and rate of pay for the purpose of improving harmony and cooperation among employees who had complained about transferred officer's personality established as a matter of law that transfer was not a punitive action for purposes of the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act. Claim by which employee sought to compel employer to comply with written agreement by which employer resolved its prior dispute with employee by promising certain training was essentially a cause of action for specific performance, as to which employee had no right to jury trial. Where prior agreement did not specifically detail the training that employee was to receive, trial court did not err in considering extrinsic evidence to determine whether the agreement was breached.
