Melkonians v. County of Los Angeles
Plaintiff Ara Melkonians appeals from the trial court’s judgment of dismissal sustaining the demurrer of the County of Los Angeles (County). This action arises from Melkonians’s discharge from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (Department). The County argues the trial court properly sustained the demurrer because (1) Melkonians did not comply with the prelawsuit claim requirements of the California Government Claims Act (Gov. Code, § 810 et seq.),[1] (2) the prelawsuit claim he did file was untimely under the Government Claims Act, and (3) his failure to overturn the administrative decision affirming his discharge bars this lawsuit. We agree with the County that Melkonians did not comply with the administrative claim requirements of the Government Claims Act and need not address the County’s other contentions as a result. We affirm.
