Lane v. State Personnel Board CA3
Plaintiff Cameron Lane is a correctional officer employed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Department). His responsibilities as the armory sergeant at the California Institute for Women (CIW) involved overseeing the operation and maintenance of the armory. After an investigation of the armory revealed that multiple items were not properly stored, there were no inventory logs for various items, and numerous items were missing, the Department found plaintiff culpable of four counts of misconduct (e.g., incompetence, inexcusable neglect of duty) and reduced his salary by 10 percent for 18 qualifying pay periods as a penalty for his misconduct. Plaintiff appealed the penalty imposed by the Department, and following an administrative hearing, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued a proposed decision upholding the penalty. Thereafter, the State Personnel Board (Board) adopted the ALJ’s proposed decision.
