Cunningham v. City of Long Beach CA2/1
Charles Cunningham (Cunningham) petitioned the superior court for a writ of administrative mandamus to set aside a decision by the City of Long Beach Civil Service Commission (Commission) denying his appeal from the City of Long Beach’s (City) decision to terminate his employment as a security officer at the Long Beach Airport (Airport). The trial court denied Cunningham’s petition; he appeals its ruling.
On appeal, Cunningham contends that substantial evidence supports neither the Commission’s findings nor the trial court’s independent determination of his guilt based on the record. He further asserts that the discipline imposed was excessive and the result of disparate treatment. We have reviewed the record and conclude that substantial evidence supports the findings of guilt. We further conclude that the discipline imposed was appropriate. Accordingly, we affirm.
