Pinheiro v. Civil Service Comm. for the Cnty. of Fresno
Annotate this CasePlaintiff appealed the denial of his petition for writ of mandate which he sought to overturn the Commission's decision upholding his dismissal as the County’s labor relations manager. The court concluded that the trial court erred in finding that plaintiff had been given a fair hearing. In this case, the Commission's decision cannot be upheld because the Commission relied on information taken outside the hearing in reaching its decision sustaining plaintiff’s dismissal which plaintiff had no opportunity to refute. Accordingly, the court reversed the judgment. The court need not address plaintiff's remaining issues.
