California Court of Appeal

Following administrative proceedings involving an off-duty, officer-involved shooting, trial court's denial of police officer's petition for writ of administrative mandate is reversed and remanded where, because the disciplinary proceedings against petitioner substantially affected his fundamental vested right in his employment, the trial court was required to exercise its independent judgment on the evidence.
