Goines v. City of L.A. CA2/4
Petitioner John Goines, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, appeals from the judgment denying his challenge to the 10-day suspension imposed because Goines made remarks to a civilian that were both discourteous and of an “ethnic” nature. Goines contends that: (1) respondents violated his due process rights by not giving him adequate notice that the charges against him had been amended; (2) he was deprived of a fair hearing; (3) we should independently review the factual basis for the charges against him; and (4) the 10-day suspension was excessive. We reject these contentions and therefore affirm the judgment.
