Diaz v. City of L.A. CA2/4
In the operative complaint, Diaz alleges Underwood acquired possession of “vicious dogs from the [City], through the [City’s] adoption program on a date prior to the incident that is the subject matter of this action.” “Underwood was known by [the City] to be a homeless person, who resided on the [City’s] public property where he kept the vicious dogs he owned and possessed, following the adoption.”
In 2018, Diaz was “mauled by dangerous dogs kept unrestrained on [City] property by . . . Underwood.” “[E]mployees of the [City] failed to remove the dangerous dogs which they had observed were tethered on City property in violation of Los Angeles Municipal Code, Sections 53.70(A), and 53.70(D),[ ] knowing that the dogs created a dangerous condition on [City] property.”
