Light v. City of Los Angeles
Plaintiff, a police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department (Department), was discharged after he tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. He challenged his termination administratively and lost. Plaintiff then filed a petition for a writ of administrative mandate in the trial court, arguing that he had not used marijuana but had tested positive for THC because his wife used hemp seeds and oil in preparing their food. The trial court, reviewing the evidence independently, disagreed and denied the petition.
Court affirm the judgment because substantial evidence supports the trial courts decision.
