Orosco v. County of L.A. CA2/4
Appellants the County of Los Angeles and related entities (collectively, the County) challenge the trial court’s grant of a writ of mandate requiring the County to pay respondent Richard Orosco over $165,000 as backpay. In 2008, the County terminated Orosco, who had worked as a deputy sheriff, and the County’s Civil Service Commission (the Commission) sustained his termination. Orosco challenged the decision through a petition for writ of administrative mandate, seeking reinstatement and an award of backpay and other employment-related benefits, among other relief. The court ultimately granted Orosco’s petition and remanded the matter to the Commission with orders to set aside its decision, reconsider the matter in light of the court’s statement of decision, and take any further action required by law. Following the court’s decision, the County reinstated Orosco and paid him about $605,000 in backpay.
