California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff-teacher's petition for extraordinary relief from the Commission's decision, finding her unfit to teach and suspending her teaching credentials for 60 days, based on her three drunk driving convictions, trial court's denial of the petition is affirmed as, although the trial court applied the wrong test, it was not prejudicial as it is not reasonably probable that the court would have reached a different result had it applied the Morrison test to the issue of fitness to teach instead of a per se test.
