California Court of Appeal February 27, 1970, Civ. 12345 (Currieri v. City of Roseville)

Opinion

PIERCE, P. J.

Petitioners are two policemen who were discharged by the City of Roseville. They petitioned for reinstatement and back pay, contending their discharge was illegal since they were permanent (as distinct from probationary) employees who were discharged without a hearing. The city argued that petitioners were still probationary employees and as such subject to summary discharge.
