Edgmon v. Dept. of Forestry and Fire protection CA
Defendant Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (the Department) dismissed plaintiff Timothy Edgmon for misconduct while on duty on the basis of an investigation that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) conducted on the Department’s behalf. Edgmon sought review of the Department’s action with the State Personnel Board (SPB). While the SPB proceedings were underway, Edgmon brought the present collateral action in which he claimed two interviews that the CHP conducted of him were in violation of three provisions of the Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act (FBOR) (Gov. Code, § 3250 et seq.). He thereafter filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in this collateral action—in effect, a motion in limine—to preclude the admission of his statements to the CHP in the proceedings on his pending administrative appeal to SPB of his dismissal (as well as a request to set aside his dismissal).
