Sweetwater official loses suit against trustee
Administrator claimed intrusion, board member said she was just doing her job
By Tanya Sierra, UNION-TRIBUNE
January 11, 2011
CHULA VISTA — An administrator who sued Sweetwater Union High School District board
member Bertha Lopez lost her case last week.
Charlene Lemons-Shivers, who was director of alternative education, claimed she suffered
undue scrutiny from Lopez for reporting unapproved overtime for an employee. She
complained that Lopez targeted the program through questions and unannounced visits.
Lopez said she was doing her due diligence as a board member.
Last week, Superior Court Judge William Cannon ruled in favor of Lopez and the district by
dismissing the case.
“It is critical that our elected officials feel free to express their concerns without
fear of litigation,” Lopez attorney Dan Shinoff said in a statement. “Otherwise, our
elected officials would have to balance their concerns with fear of personal
concerns of litigation. She was sued personally and had to deal with the anxiety of
litigation for many months. Ms. Lopez and the District have been vindicated.”
...Shinoff said he intends to seek reimbursement of about $30,000 from Lemons-Shivers for
defending the case.
[Maura Larkins' comment:
Daniel Shinoff doesn't want officials to "fear litigation"? Is he in the right country?
Freedom to petition for redress of grievances is an important part of our constitution.
Officials don't always follow the law, and the freedom to petition for redress is needed
to keep them in line. It's important that officials keep in mind the possibility of
litigation when they decide their course of action.
Ironically, Shinoff doesn't feel the author of this site should be allowed to express her
concerns without fear of litigaton. He sued me for defamation!
Shinoff is clearly trying to inflict anxiety on the plaintiff in this case by asking her to
pay the $30,000 he's charging for his work.
I've had personal experience with Bertha Lopez completely failing to do due diligence
as a board member in CVESD. I think her decision to take matters in Sweetwater into
her own hands was a personal and political one, not a question of fulfilling her
responsibilities.]
