Rodriguez v. Burbank Police Dept.
On May 28, 2009, appellants Omar Rodriguez, Cindy Guillen-Gomez, Steve Karagiosian, Elfego Rodriguez and Jamal Childs (collectively appellants) brought an action against respondent City of Burbank (City) and the Burbank Police Department under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)[1] and the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (POBRA).[2] City filed its motion for summary judgment against appellant Elfego Rodriguez[3] on February 26, 2010. The trial court granted the motion on July 12, 2010, a judgment was entered, and Elfego has appealed from the judgment against him.
In the meantime, on June 17, 2010, appellants filed a motion to disqualify the two law firms that represent City. The trial court denied that motion, and all appellants have appealed the denial of this motion.
We have consolidated the appeals for the purposes of oral argument and decision, and affirm the trial court’s rulings.
