Barbee v. Los Angeles Unified School Dist. Personnel Commission
Cottrell Barbee (appellant) appeals from the judgment denying his petition for writ of administrative mandate (Code Civ. Proc., 1094.5), which sought to set aside a decision of the Personnel Commission (commission) of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) imposing discipline on appellant, a classified employee of LAUSD. Appellant advances the following contentions: (1) a conclusion that none of the sustained charges justified the alleged causes for discipline precluded imposition of discipline; (2) the commission exceeded its jurisdiction by imposing suspension in addition to demotion; (3) the conclusion that plaintiff drank on the job is unsupported by the findings; and (4) petitioner did not receive a fair trial because the hearing officer refused to enforce subpoenas and admitted forged documents and apparently coerced testimony.
Court find no merit in these contentions, and affirm the judgment.
