Brumbaugh v. City of Torrance
Defendants and appellants City of Torrance (hereafter City), John Neu and Ross Bartlett appeal from the judgment of the trial court entered January 27, 2012, granting plaintiff and respondent John Brumbaugh’s second petition for writ of mandate and ordering the City, his former employer, to provide him a further hearing on his request for reinstatement as a police officer. This is the third appeal plaintiff has filed in his effort to obtain reinstatement. The two previous appeals were decided in unpublished opinions issued by Division Two of this court. Those related appeals, both titled John Brumbaugh v. City of Torrance et al. (Sept. 16, 2008, B202117) and (Sept. 15, 2009, B210529), arose from writ proceedings in superior court case No. BS097255. We take judicial notice of those unpublished decisions. (See Evid. Code, § 452, subd. (d); Deschene v. Pinole Point Steel Co. (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 33, 37, fn. 2.)[1] This appeal arose from a supplemental writ petition and related claims in superior court case No. BS116891, by which plaintiff sought to enforce the mandamus judgment entered in the earlier filed case, which we shall refer to as the 2007 Judgment.
