Taft Union High School Dist. v. Sheryl O. CA5
Cross-defendants and petitioners, Bryan O. and Sheryl O., presented government claims against cross-complainants, a school district and its personnel, arising out of a shooting on a high school campus. The claims were denied as untimely. Petitioners’ applications for leave to present late claims were also denied. Petitioners then petitioned the trial court for relief from the government claim presentation requirements, asserting that delayed discovery of their causes of action against cross-complainants made their claims timely; Sheryl also asserted her claim was timely based on estoppel. The trial court found petitioners had sufficient knowledge of the facts giving rise to their claims that their causes of action accrued more than one year before they presented their claims and their applications for leave to present late claims to the public entity; additionally, estoppel did not apply.
