Howard v. County of Los Angeles CA2/5
Plaintiff Richard Howard appeals from a judgment following the entry of an order sustaining the demurrer of defendant the County of Los Angeles (the County) to the second amended complaint without leave to amend. Plaintiff challenges each of the alternative grounds upon which the trial court based its order, including the trial court’s conclusion that his complaint was barred by the litigation privilege set forth in Civil Code section 47, subdivision (b) (section 47(b)). He also contends the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion for leave to amend to state a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 (section 1983).
