California Court of Appeal

In plaintiffs' petition for administrative mandate seeking to overturn a decision of the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System refusing to change the status of the deputy coroners from "miscellaneous" to "local safety members," a classification that would have substantially enhanced their retirement benefits, trial court's decision is affirmed as the principal duties and functions of the deputy coroners do not "clearly" fall within the scope of "active law enforcement" as that term is used in Gov. Code section 20436(a).
