Conflicts and Self-Dealing with Government Officials in California

Additionally, the Complaint survives Defendant’s challenge under Government Code §820.2, based on the Court’s finding that derivative liability allows a government entity to be sued for the negligent acts of employees if the employee is not immune. See also, Elton v.

As noted above, the Court finds that the decision making process that takes place during an evaluation of risk necessarily implicates basic policy decisions and is therefore protected under Government Code 820.2. Thus in the Court's view paragraph 12 is negated by Government Code 820.2.

Discretionary Immunity Government Code section 820.2 states that “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Cal. Govt. Code § 820.2.)

Immunity under Government Code Sections 820.2 and 815.2 Government Code section 820.2 provides that a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion was abused. (Govt. Code, § 820.2 .)

Discretionary Immunity Government Code section 820.2 states that “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Cal. Govt. Code § 820.2.)

Defendants argue that the transactions alleged in the TAC do not violate Government Code sections 1090 or 87100 because the transactions are permitted and because PP&P was not a party to many of these contested agreements. Plaintiffs oppose the motion.

The Second Amended Complaint references two new causes of action relating to Government Code sections 1090 and 87100 not addressed by the SJM's. The court has been advised that responses related to the pending discovery motions may be required for the propounding parties to respond meaningfully to the SJM's. Further, the new Demurrer and Motion to Strike complicate the handling of the SMJ's.

Government Code section 820.2 and Civil Code section 3228. (FAC, ¶IT-1, p. 2.) These statutes do not demonstrate the existence of Defendant’s liability for battery. Cal. Government Code section 820.2 states: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Cal. Govt. Code, § 820.2.)

Discretionary Immunity Defendant argues that it is entitled to discretionary immunity under Government Code section 820.2, which provides that “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Govt. Code, § 820.2.)

Here, the only statute Moving Defendants have identified as granting immunity is the immunity for discretionary acts under Government Code section 820.2. Discretionary Immunity – Government Code § 820.2 Government Code section 820.2 provides that “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

Government Code section 820.2. Section 820.2 holds that “A public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Cal. Gov. Code, § 820.2.) The demurrer based on governmental immunity, therefore, is overruled. Conclusion Defendants Raybon Johnson, Warden CSP-LAC, M. Fordham, A. Ojeda and D.T.

Motion continued and the parties are ordered to submit supplemental briefs as to (1) whether Government Code section 820.2 bars any claim against Lind based upon her alleged failure to secure the property, and (2) whether Defendants owed a duty to plaintiff. Supplemental briefs are to be filed with court on or before 11/8/17 with a courtesy copied delivered to PS2 by 4:00 p.m. Hearing on MSJ continued to 11/14/17. Moving party to give notice.

With respect to its claims against Galarze, Plaintiff has failed to plead facts sufficient to overcome the immunity provision set out in Government Code section 820.2. Plaintiff is granted 20 days leave to amend.

Government Code Section 1090 The court finds Petitioner has failed to allege a claim under Section 1090. Section 1090(a) prohibits Respondent county officials from entering a contract in which they are financially interested. However, there are exceptions to the rule, including Government Code section 1091.5, subdivision (a)(3).

Under Government Code Section 820.2, “a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” However,iIn Barner v. Leeds (2000) 24 Cal.4th 676, 678, the court held that “not all acts requiring a public employee to choose among alternatives entail the use of discretion within the meaning of Government Code section 820.2.”

Court finds that the training, staffing, and supervisory decisions here are discretionary acts that fall under Government Code section 820.2 immunities. They are planning and basic policy decisions that are immune from liability as an exercise of discretion. (See Caldwell v. Montoya (1995) 10 Cal.4th 972, 981, Lopez v. Southern Cal. Rapid Transit Dist. (1985) 40 Cal.3d 780, 794.) Demurrer overruled for defendant County of Riverside. Defendant must answer within twenty days.

As to the contention that these claims are barred by Government Code section 820.2 discretionary immunity, there are no allegations in the complaint which demonstrate that any employee any act alleged was the result of an exercise of discretion. Furthermore, the discretionary immunity does not apply to the District’s alleged breach of mandatory duty (Gov. C. §815.6). (Bradford v. State of California (1973) 36 Cal.App.3d 16, 19-20.)

Plaintiff does not cite to any case in the almost 50 years since Nestle extending its holding to Government Code § 820.2. Absent such authority, the court declines to extend Nestle to also preclude Government Code § 820.2 immunity for CC § 3479 nuisance claims. Based on the foregoing, the court finds Plaintiff's complaint is barred by Government Code § 820.2 immunity. However, as Plaintiff seeks leave to amend, the court allows Plaintiff 10 days leave to amend.

Government Code section 820.2, in turn, provides that “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Govt. Code, § 820.2.) (emphasis added). The fact that an employee normally engages in “discretionary activity” is irrelevant if, in a given case, the employee did not render a considered decision.

The two proposed causes of action assert liability for conflicts of interest pursuant to Government Code sections 1090 and 87100. Defendant C.E. Chip Wullbrandt was the general counsel to each of the plaintiffs during the events upon which plaintiffs’ claims are based. (Proposed Second Amended Complaint [“PSAC”], ¶ 4.)

Additionally, the Complaint survives Defendant’s challenge under Government Code Section 820.2, at least for purposes of this demurrer. There are no express allegations in the Complaint alleging that an investigation took place. Defendant appears to infer from paragraph 44 that Plaintiff has alleged an investigation took place, however, on demurrer we make all inferences in favor of the non -moving party. See Perez v. Golden Empire Transit Dist. (2012) 209 CA4th 1228, 1238.

Under Government Code §820.2, a public employee is not liable for an injury arising from his or her act that was the result of the discretion vested in them. The demurrer is sustained without leave to amend as to all causes of action.

Immunity Defendants argue that they are immune from liability under Government Code §§ 820.2 and 821.6 because decisions related to the placement of a child, supervision, and investigation of abuse are all discretionary.

Explanation: Under Government Code section 820.2, “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Gov. Code, § 820.2.)

Plaintiff's objection also pointed out that defendant did not raise the defense of qualified immunity (Govt. Code § 820.2) until the reply papers. That omission prejudiced plaintiff insofar as counsel was unable to present a counter-argument or provide the Court with legal authority supporting her position. Because the issue of qualified immunity is significant, the hearing on this matter is continued to provide plaintiff time to file a supplemental brief.

However, Government Code section 820.2 immunity is not always readily determinable from the pleadings alone. “The maintenance of a child in a foster home involves an obligation of continued supervision by the County. The child remains a ward of the County.

However, Government Code section 820.2 immunity is not always readily determinable from the pleadings alone. “The maintenance of a child in a foster home involves an obligation of continued supervision by the County. The child remains a ward of the County.

However, Government Code section 820.2 immunity is not always readily determinable from the pleadings alone. “The maintenance of a child in a foster home involves an obligation of continued supervision by the County. The child remains a ward of the County.

The Court overrules the Demurrer to the First, Second, and Fourth Causes of Action, finding that Government Code section 820.2 immunity does not apply to these causes of action. The Court sustains the Demurrer as to the Third Cause of Action for Trespass. In regards to the First Cause of Action for Inverse Condemnation, courts have narrowly circumscribed the types of emergencies that will shield a public entity from inverse condemnation liability, none of which are relevant here.

(CRC Rule 3.1112(g); CRC Rule 3.1300(d)) Defendants are immune from liability under Civil Code § 47(b) and Government Code §§ 820.2, 845.8 and 855.8 for preparing and approving the Comprehensive Risk Assessment in connection with plaintiff's parole proceedings. Further, plaintiff's collateral attack on his parole denial and continued confinement is barred because he has not, and cannot, allege that his prison sentence has been properly overturned or invalidated. (Heck v.

Government Code section 820.2 states, “[e]xcept as provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

The Court OVERRULES DEFENDANT CRUZ’S demurrers, based on Immunity in Govt Code § 820.2. Defendant has not established the immunity applies including discussion of the principles of discretionary vs. ministerial conduct that govern the immunity. San Mateo Union High School District v. County of San Mateo (2013) 213 Cal.App.4th 418, 433–34. The Court SUSTAINS DEFENDANT CRUZ’ general demurrer to the 1st Cause of Action for Conversion for failure to plead sufficient facts.

Further, Government Code § 820.2 immunity also applies to investigatory acts. (Newton v. Cnty. of Napa (1990) 217 Cal.App.3d 1551, 1561.) Thus, because Government Code § 821.6 is applicable to this matter, so does Government Code § 820.2. (Ingram v. Flippo (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 1280, 1292 [“It follows that if section 821.6 applies, so also does section 820.2.”].) Therefore, Government Code § 820.2 applies and provides further immunity from Plaintiff’s lawsuit.

Where breach of fiduciary duty is established with regard to the processing of paperwork, discretional immunity pursuant to Government Code § 820.2 does not apply. (See e.g. Masters v. San Bernardino County Employees Retirement Assn. (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 30, 48-49 and fn 13.)

Defendant Citys motion for adjudication of the second cause of action based on Government Code §820.2 fails. III. Government Code §815.4 and Lack of Duty to Public on part of Burns Pacific and Government Code §820.2 Discretionary Immunity A public entity is liable for injury proximately caused by a tortious act or omission of an independent contractor of the public entity to the same extent that the public entity would be subject to such liability if it were a private person.

Government Code Section 820.2 Employees contend that pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, they are immune from liability for the third cause of action. The statute provides immunity for public employees from liability for injuries resulting from an “act or omission...where it was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Gov. Code § 820.2.)

Defendant asserts he is immune under Government Code section 820.2. Under Government Code section 820.2, "a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused."

While such new evidence is still insufficient for purposes of Govt. Code § 820.2 immunity, the repetition of this motion in this case is not precluded and does not implicate CCP § 128.7. Certain documents have been sealed pursuant to LAUSD’s previous motion and the court’s order of 2/2/18. Plaintiffs shall submit a proposed order with a proof of service to seal additional documents which were lodged in connection with these matters. Unless waived, notice of ruling by Plaintiffs.

Defendant argues the discretionary act immunity under Government Code section 820.2 applies to that decision, as does the arrest immunity under Government Code section 846. While plaintiff’s opposition fails to make any argument regarding the second and third immunities, nevertheless, neither applies.

Government Immunity Employees first contend that pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, they are immune from liability for the third, fourth and fifth causes of action. The statute provides immunity for public employees from liability for injuries resulting from an “act or omission...where it was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Gov. Code § 820.2.)

The thirteenth affirmative defense adequately alleges the defense of discretionary immunity of Government Code 820.2 and whether that defense can be proved will need to await the development of the facts. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests.

As for Government Code Section 820.2 , immunity regarding discretionary decisions applies only to basic policy decisions. Jamgotchian v. Slender (2009) 170 Cal. App. 4th 1384, 1397 (“Ministerial acts ‘that merely implement a basic policy already formulated’ are not entitled to immunity” under Government Code Section 820.2); Perez-Torres v. State of Calif. (2007) 42 Cal.App.4th 136, 142-43; Caldwell v. Montoya (1995) 10 Cal. 4th 972, 983.

Government Code section 820.2 states: "A public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused." (Cal.Gov. Code § 820.2.) The exhibits to the FAC demonstrate that a decision to recommend single-cell status is based on consideration and evaluation of multiple factors. (FAC, Ex. A at pp. 13, 24, Ex. B at pg. 45, Ex. C at pg. 19.)

The face of the second amended complaint does not necessarily show that the first cause of action is barred by the immunities in Government Code 820.2 or 855.4. The second cause of action insufficiently alleges a contract that covers exposure to the virus material and it does not appear that there is a reasonable possibility that Dr. Michaels can allege such a contract. The third cause of action is wholly duplicative of the first cause of action. If Dr.

The employee defendants’ motion was granted under the discretionary immunity statute (Govt. Code § 820.2), so the defendant District cannot be held vicariously liable for their actions. See Masters v. San Bernardino County Employees Retirement Ass’n (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 30. In his opposition, plaintiff appears to agree with defendant on the issue of vicarious liability as to the named defendants.

Fourth Cause of Action: Negligence Defendant Homes of Hope contends that the fourth cause of action fails because Defendant Homes of Hope is a quasi-governmental entity and is entitled to immunity for discretionary acts under Government Code section 820.2.

Government Immunity Employees argue they are immune from liability for all the causes of action pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, or alternatively section 821.6. Section 820.2 provides immunity for public employees from liability for injuries resulting from an “act or omission...where it was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” (Gov. Code, § 820.2.)

Government Code section 820.2 states as follows: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” Section 820.2 provides immunity for both statutory and common law claims.

Under either Govt. Code §820.2 or §820.4, Officer Ramborger’s conduct is immune from liability. As to the CHP, Govt. Code §815.2(b) provides: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public entity is not liable for an injury resulting from an act or omission of an employee of the public entity where the employee is immune from liability.” Because Officer Ramborger’s conduct is immune from liability, the CHP is also immune.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity (2019) 33 Cal.App.5th 70, 78 [finding that a special relationship may occur when the defendant is in a position to protect against and should be expected to protect against a harm].)2 Next, Defendant argues that its employees are exempt from liability under discretionary immunity under Government Code section 820.2.

Finally, Defendants claim immunity under Government Code section 820.2. This provision essentially makes public employees generally liable for wrongs, except as otherwise provided. It states, in full, “(a) Except as otherwise provided by statute (including Section 820.2), a public employee is liable for injury caused by his act or omission to the same extent as a private person.

For guidance of the parties going forward, the court rejects defendants' Government Code 820.2 argument because the selection of a payment terminal is not a basic policy decision covered by the discretionary act immunity. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests.

The court did not consider the Regents' argument based on Government Code 820.2 since that statute was neither cited nor discussed in the moving papers and plaintiff had no opportunity to respond the to the argument. Liberally construing plaintiff's allegations, the third and fourth claims sufficiently allege that the Regents interfered with plaintiff's contract rights and economic advantage by inducing MedAssets to breach the contract and by inducing CNAs to breach their obligations to plaintiff.

Immunity under Government Code §820.2 requires that the “public employee” was acting within the course and scope of his or her employment as to the alleged conduct. See Taylor v. Mitzel (1978) 82 Cal.App.3d 665, 673 The California Legislature has also indicated in its analysis of §820.2 that “… public employees will continue to remain immune from liability for the discretionary acts within the scope of their employment.”

Government Code § 820(a) states that except as set forth in Government Code § 820.2, a public employee is liable for injury caused by his or her acts or omissions to the same extent as a private individual. Plaintiff argues these statutes in the opposition, but does not allege liability under these statutes in this cause of action.

Moreover, Government Code section 820.2 provides: Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.

Government Code section 820.2 provides that [e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused. (Govt. Code, § 820.2; see id. at § 821 [A public employee is not liable for an injury caused by his adoption of or failure to adopt an enactment or by his failure to enforce an enactment.].)

(Govt. Code § 820.2.) Immunity for public employees "applies even to lousy decisions in which the worker abuses his or her discretion, including decisions based on woefully inadequate information." (Gabrielle A. v. County of Orange (2017) 10 Cal.App.5th 1268, 1285.) Moreover, a public entity is generally immune where the public employee is immune. (Govt. Code § 815.2(b).)

The Court cannot find, based on the pleadings alone, that County is entitled to discretionary immunity under Government Code section 820.2. Accordingly, County’s motion to strike is denied to the extent it is based on immunity arguments. This order is without prejudice to County’s ability to reassert the arguments at a later time, as appropriate. 3.

Government Code section 820.2 states: "A public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused." (Cal.Gov. Code § 820.2.) The exhibits to the FAC demonstrate that a decision to recommend single-cell status is based on consideration and evaluation of multiple factors. (FAC, Ex. A at pp. 13, 24, Ex. B at pg. 45, Ex. C at pg. 19.)

County further argues that any act by its employees is discretionary and thus immunized under Government Code section 820.2. These matters cannot be decided at this time. Accordingly, County’s demurrer to the first cause of action is SUSTAINED with 20 days’ leave to amend. III. CONCLUSION County’s demurrer to the first cause of action is SUSTAINED with 20 days’ leave to amend. County’s demurrer to the second cause of action is SUSTAINED. Moving party to give notice.

ANALYSIS Defendant District moves for summary judgment on the ground that it is entitled to discretionary immunity under Government Code §§ 820.2 and 815.2(b) for its conduct in holding an unannounced active shooter lockdown drill. There is no dispute that schools have discretion in how to conduct safety drills at their campuses under Education Code § 32282 and that their related policy decisions are entitled to immunity. However, Plaintiff is not challenging the District's policy.

Govt. Code §820.2 specifically immunizes public employees from liability for an injury resulting from a discretionary act or omission, whether or not that discretion was abused. 6. The exemplary damages claim is not in itself a cause of action. The Defendants' demurrer to it is sustained on the same basis as applies to the other causes of action. Further, the allegations fail to comport with the pleading requirements set forth in Civ. Code §3294 and 3295.

Petitioners Claims under the Government Code Sections 1090 and 87100 Petitioner also contends that Respondent has a financial conflict of interest requiring recusal under Government Code sections 1090 and 87100. (Pet. ¶¶ 40-41; OB 14-16.) Government Code section 1090 bars public officials from having a financial interest in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members. (Govt Code § 1090(a).)

[3] The Court additionally notes that the single case cited by Plaintiff regarding a malice exception in Government Code section 820.2 does not directly support Plaintiffs interpretation of the statute.

District employees are entitled to immunity pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, which provides: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

District employees are entitled to immunity pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, which provides: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

District employees are entitled to immunity pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, which provides: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

District employees are entitled to immunity pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, which provides: “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

IIED as to the County Defendants Defendants also contend that the IIED claim fails as to Sheriff McDonnell and Deputy Ocampo because they are immune from liability pursuant to Government Code section 820.2 and/or Government Code section 845.6.

Beyond that it suggests that Plaintiff must allege compliance with the filing requirements of the Torts Claim Act to bring suit against a public employee like Ms. Ayers.

Government Code section 91005, subdivision (b) makes any “designated employee or public official,” except an elected state official, liable for up to three times the amount of a benefit he or she realizes as a result of violation Government Code section 87100.

A negligence claim for negligent management and supervision of a foster home does not fall within Government Code § 820.2. Ronald S., supra, 16 Cal.App.4th at 898. Plaintiff argues this motion fails as to Creative Solutions, Montelongo, and Montoya because they are not government entities or government employees. As such, any immunity under Government Code § 820.2 would not apply to them. Lawson v. Superior Court (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1372, 1396-1398; Lichtman v.

The same requirements apply with respect to a suit against a public employee for injury caused by an action or omission in the scope of his or her employment. (Gov. C. §950.2; Briggs v. Lawrence (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 605, 613.) Here, Plaintiffs have named a public entity and public employees as Defendants, yet the SAC does not allege that Plaintiffs presented Government Code claims to the District, or that they were excused from doing so. Therefore, the SAC is subject to demurrer.

The Court emphasized that a "public agency must demonstrate its employee in fact consciously exercised discretion in connection with the negligent acts or omissions charged in order to invoke the 'discretionary acts' immunity provisions of Government Code section 820.2." (Ibid.) The court of appeal reversed a dismissal because "[s]uch a showing was not and could not have been made by the county at the demurrer stage." (Ibid.)

Thus, Government Code section 820.2 does not apply to Plaintiffs claims in the present case. Third Cause of Action for Dangerous Condition on Public Property PUSD demurrers to Plaintiffs third cause of action for dangerous condition on public property.

Defendants demur to the First Amended Complaint for failure to state sufficient facts and Defendants’ immunity under Government Code §§ 820.2 and 820.8. (Citing Code Civ. Proc., § 430.10, subd. (e).) Defendants also request that the Court take judicial notice of the certified claims record from the California Department of General Services, Claimant Brian Keith Barnett, Claim No. 20004656. The request is granted pursuant to Cal. Evidence Code section 452. ( Gong v.

Defendants also argue for discretionary immunity under Govt. Code 820.2. If a decision is based upon a choice and judgment not made in blind obedience to orders, the decision will be cloaked with discretionary immunity under section 820.2 even if the particular conduct is unreasonable. (Conway v. Cty. of Tuolumne (2014) 231 Cal.App.4th 1005, 1019, 1021 (Conway).)

Code §1090 and that Meaney aided and abetted in that violation. Further, the Complaint alleges that Meaney was acting on behalf of each of the defendants in bribing Mayor Pougnet to ensure that these defendants obtained the contract at issue. As each of the three “causes of action” arise out of the alleged violation of Govt. Code §1090, the Court overrules the demurrer in its entirety.

(See also Sahlolbei, 3 Cal.5th at 244, discussing what fair notice the state of the law would give as to the meaning of § 1090, but not suggesting any requirement of actual legal knowledge). IV. Applicability of § 1090 to School Districts Last, Taber argues that § 1090 applies more narrowly to school districts than to other governmental agencies.

Any such financial benefit is entirely speculative on this record and insufficient to establish a conflict of interest claim under section 1090. Based on the foregoing, Defendant’s arguments under section 1090 do not support disqualification of Blackburn.

Explanation: Immunity Government Code section 820.2 provides that, “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission [that] was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.”

Immunity Government Code 820.2 immunizes the discretionary activity of public officials. It provides: Except as provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.

As to the immunity argument, the Court finds that Defendant does not satisfy its prima facie burden to show that any of its employees was exercising discretion pursuant to Government Code § 820.2. The Court will thus not grant summary judgment on this basis. The Court will thus deny the summary judgment motion in its entirety. The court finds these questions of material fact and admissible evidence in support thereof raising the respective questions.

However, under Government Code section 821 a public employee, and thus the public entity, is shielded from immunity for legislative functions, and under Government Code section 820.2, public employees have immunity for discretionary functions.

Code section 820.2 because the district employees’ acts were discretionary.

Pursuant to Government Code section 820.2, a public employee is not liable “as result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him. In addition, Government Code section 820.8 states that “Except as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury caused by the act or omission of another person.” Finally, Plaintiff has not alleged a statutory basis of liability against Defendants.

Code § 1090 Govt. Code § 1092 says that a contract made in violation of section 1090 may be avoided “at the instance of a party” other than the one who acted with a conflict of interest. There is a conflict in the law whether a taxpayer has standing to avoid a contract under section 1090 regardless of the language of section 1092. The greater weight of authority is that a taxpayer does have standing. See Holloway v. Showcase Realty Agents, Inc. (2018) 22 Cal. App. 5th 758, 767-70.

Defendant’s demurrer is based on her asserted immunity under Government Code § 820.2, which states, “[e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute, a public employee is not liable for an injury resulting from his act or omission where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in him, whether or not such discretion be abused.” For purposes of a demurrer, all properly pleaded facts are admitted as true.
