California Court of Appeal

The trial court properly denied the plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction and petition for writ of mandate, where: 1) the Sheriff's order delaying access to the internal affairs investigative files for any member of the Orange County Sheriff's Department who is under investigation for misconduct until after the investigative interview, was within her legal authority and not subject to meet-and-confer requirements; and 2) the long-standing past practice of pre-investigative interview access to the investigative file, alone, does not constitute a working condition within the meaning of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.
