Banis Restaurant Design, Inc. v. Serrano

After a hearing officer ruled in December 2002 that she was ineligible for disability retirement, plaintiff Adrianne Pitts requested a return to active status as a police officer (from which she had been on leave without pay since August 2000). When the defendants informed her in February 2003 that she would need to satisfy several conditions as part of her return to active status, she refused. Instead, she filed a petition for a writ of traditional mandamus directing the defendants to return her to active status unconditionally. In July 2004, the trial court issued a judgment that denied the petition. We recently affirmed the judgment. (Pitts v. Najera (Dec. 5, 2005, C047833) [nonpub. opn.].)
