Gulbransen v. Far Northern Regional Center CA3
After the Far Northern Regional Center (FNRC) asserted a change in the law and declined to pay for services ordered in a final order by an administrative law judge (ALJ), Christian Gulbransen, an individual with disabilities, filed a lawsuit against FNRC, case No. 151024, seeking to enforce the ALJ’s order and also asserting additional causes of action. The trial court ordered FNRC to pay for some of the services and directed that additional determinations be made through the administrative hearing process set forth in the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, Welfare & Institutions Code section 4500 et seq. Gulbransen subsequently filed a second lawsuit against FNRC, case No. 153745, claiming FNRC breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by not complying with the ALJ order. The trial court consolidated the two lawsuits.
