Robinson v. City of Chowchilla
Appellants city council and city administrator of the City of Chowchilla (the city) ended the city’s employment of respondent as chief of police. Respondent sued appellants for breach of contract and wrongful termination; respondent included within the complaint a petition for writ of mandate seeking enforcement of his rights claimed under the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act, Government Code section 3300 et seq. (hereafter, the Act). The court bifurcated trial of the petition for writ of mandate and the complaint. Trial on the petition has been held; there is nothing in the record before us stating that the trial on the complaint has occurred. After trial on the petition to the court sitting without a jury, the court granted in part the petition for writ of mandate. Appellants filed a petition in this court for writ relief; that petition was denied. Appellants then filed the present appeal.
This is an appeal from a nonappealable partial judgment. Accordingly, court dismissed the appeal.
