Conger v. County of Los Angeles
Annotate this Case
After the Department rescinded plaintiff's probationary promotion to lieutenant based on investigatory findings that he had failed to report a use of force several months before the Department promoted him to the probationary position, he filed a petition for writ of mandate in the trial court.
The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's denial of the petition for writ of mandate and agreed with the trial court's ruling that the Department's decision to deny plaintiff a promotion was merit-based. The court also held that plaintiff failed to show that the written evaluation detailing his unreported use of force will impact his career adversely in the future apart from the loss of his probationary position.
