FLIPPIN v. LOS ANGELES CITY BOARD OF CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS
Public employee waived right to a predisciplinary or Skelly hearing where employer accepted employee's offer to retire in lieu of dismissal, even though employee rescinded that offer after date that hearing was to have taken place. Agency's selection of same official to investigate charges, recommend discipline, and conduct Skelly hearing did not violate due process where another official acted as agency's final decisionmaker in the matter, and employee had a further right of administrative appeal under civil service rules. Termination of employee for sleeping on the job, for reflecting negatively on city workforce by doing so in public, and for being insubordinate by refusing to remove hammock from his city vehicle was not a manifest abuse of discretion.
