California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's petition for peremptory writ of mandate seeking an order compelling the Board of Retirement (Board) of the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association to reverse its decision denying her application for service-connected survivor death benefits, trial court's denial of the petition is affirmed as the presumption set forth in section 31720.6 is a rebuttable one, and in this case substantial evidence supports the trial court's decision that the Board rebutted the cancer presumption by making the showing outlined in section 31720.6(c).
