Peraino v. Merced Irrigation Dist.
Appellant was fired from her position as a customer account representative with respondent Merced Irrigation District (the District). After a two-day administrative hearing, the hearing officer upheld the termination and the District adopted the hearing officers findings. Appellant then filed a petition for writ of mandate in the superior court, arguing the termination was not supported by the evidence and, in the alternative, she should have been demoted as a lesser disciplinary action. The court denied the petition. On appeal, she contends the petition was improperly denied, the District did not have just cause to terminate her, and the District should have demoted her as an alternative disciplinary action. The judgment is affirmed. Costs on appeal to respondents.
