K-9
Gary Lee and Debarbieris Et Al
Discovery is proceeding. A settlement conference is set before
Magistrate Judge Sally Shushan on June 11, 2002. We have already
sent to the Court for it's consideration, a memorandum setting forth
our position on liability and damages. A Pre-Trial conference is
set for July 18, 2002 and the Trial is scheduled for August 5, 2002.
Working Out of Class
Bue Et Al
The Civil Service finally ruled on May 1, 2002. The ruling provided
for back pay but no promotions. We are filing our appeal and hope
to have the appeals court order promotions.
Working Out of Class
Alonzo Et Al
Civil Service has decided not to have hearings on this case but
will conduct a staff investigation. Once the staff investigates
each individuals claim, it will be given to Harry Tervalon, Attorney
at Law and Hearing Examiner, appointed by the Civil Service Commission.
Each complaint should be contacted by a staff member from Civil
Service. You should be prepared to prove that you were working out
of class and you have a claim.
Albright Et Al
Though we have filed a notice of appeal, the court may not consider
the decision final as it has not yet ruled on the attorney fee portion
of the case. There is no briefing schedule filed yet; however, as
soon as we receive it we will let everyone know.
Sick Time Case
Michael LaFleur Et Al
The Supreme Court granted the City's Writ of Certiorari on December
7, 2001. Our firm as well as attorney's for FOP and LaFleur have
all filed briefs in opposition to the City's Writ application. A
hearing date has not yet been set, but we should have a hearing
date soon. I suspect it will take about thirty to sixty days following
the hearing for the Court to render an decision. The decision could
reject the City's argument up holding the ruling of the District
Court of Appeal. The court could also reverse the lower Courts and
render some modified decision.
