P. v. Holland CA4/2
The trial court granted defendant and respondent, Christa Holland’s, motion in support of dismissal of the complaint. The court ruled that plaintiff and appellant, The People, were collaterally estopped from proceeding on the felony complaint due to the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) ruling in favor of defendant in an action by the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (County) to recover an alleged overissuance in CalFresh benefits received by defendant. On appeal, the People contend the court erred in applying collateral estoppel to bar prosecution of defendant because the ALJ did not decide the same issues raised by the People’s complaint. We affirm.
