Yellen v. Board of Medical Quality Assurance

Two nearly identical petitions for writ of mandate/prohibition have been submitted to this court. One petition (B015963) is on behalf of defendant/petitioner Jay S. Paul, a police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department; the second petition (B015825) is on behalf of all the other defendants/petitioners, hereinafter referred to as "the Gates defendants." Both petitions arose out of the same lower court case (LASC No. C515516). Since the issues are the same they will be considered together.
