Choi v. SD Civil Service Commission CA4/1
Steve Choi is a fire engineer with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (Fire Department). In 2014, he took an examination for promotion to the fire captain rank. He passed all portions of the examination except for a 45-minute timed written exercise. Based on this failing grade, the City of San Diego's Personnel Department (Personnel Department) did not place Choi on the fire captain promotion list.
Choi then requested the Personnel Department to provide him with certain examination materials, including two documents relevant to this appeal: (1) a document reflecting the graders' raw evaluation of his written exercise (individualized-evaluation document); and (2) a document reflecting the objective criteria used by the graders to score the examinations (grading-criteria document). The Personnel Department denied this request.
