Morrison v. State Personnel Bd.
Plaintiff Joann Morrison was terminated from her employment with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (the Department) at California’s Pelican Bay State Prison after a random drug test revealed the presence of marijuana in her system. The State Personnel Board (the Board) upheld the termination.
Plaintiff appeals from the trial court’s judgment denying her petition for a writ of mandate seeking to overturn the Board’s decision. She contends the findings and conclusions of the Board are not supported by substantial evidence; the Board misapplied federal law in finding her guilty of other failure of good behavior; and the penalty of dismissal is inappropriate. We disagree with plaintiff’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
