Lawsuit against Escondido school district set
for trial
By: Scott Marshall
North County Times
VISTA ---- A lawsuit that alleges two autistic students in
the Escondido Union School District were battered by a
teacher is scheduled to go to trial April 1, an attorney for
the school district confirmed late Thursday.
The case involves two students, ages 4 and 5 at the time,
and alleges the children were battered while they were
students at the Nicolaysen Center, a school for
special-education students, said Daniel Shinoff, the
district's attorney.
Andrea Leavitt, an attorney for the students and
their families, could not be reached for comment late
Thursday afternoon.
Shinoff said the school district denies the
allegations and believes the case involves a
misunderstanding "that's been blown way
out of proportion."

Motion to Stay Litigation
Filed By: Mason, Joel B.
Defendants' motion to compel arbitration is denied.
The arbitration clause is limited to disputes arising
out of the interpretation of the contract between the
parties. The causes of action alleged in the
complaint do not relate to a dispute over
interpretation of the contract, but rather to the
duties of the individual defendants to plaintiff as
board members of plaintiff and other pre-contract
conduct. The only contract cause of action does not
relate to interpretation of the terms of the contract. The
Court cannot compel arbitration of claims exceeding
the scope of the parties' agreement. Medical Staff of

Court ruling: "The motion is continued to May 20, 2008..."
[M.L. note: I suspect that the judge would like to see this case

is do the right thing, not what Daniel Robert Shinoff advises.]
Judge Prager found in favor of the school district,
but his decision was overturned on appeal.
Eric M. v. Cajon Valley Union School District
Filed 5/20/09 Certified for Publication 5/27/09
COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIV 1
D053534 (Super. Ct. No. GIC871766)
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San
Diego County, Ronald S. Prager, Judge. Reversed.
Plaintiff and appellant Eric M. (Eric), by and through his guardian
ad litem, Gloria M., brought this action against defendant and
respondent Cajon Valley Union School District (the District),
alleging that his injuries from being hit by a car were proximately
caused by the District’s failure to supervise adequately the
process of his dismissal from school and anticipated school bus
ride home. After six-year-old Eric boarded but then immediately
left the school bus (telling the bus driver he saw his father’s car),
shortly after school had ended for the day, he started walking to
the bus stop where he thought his mother would pick him up, but
was hit by a car as he crossed the street.
Eric appeals from a judgment of dismissal entered
against him after the trial court granted the District’s
motion for summary judgment,
and denied Eric’s motion for summary adjudication on the
existence of an affirmative duty not to let him off the bus under
those circumstances. The trial court’s ruling to grant the District’s
summary judgment motion was based on its analysis of duty and
immunity under Education Code section 44808, under the
circumstances of a student being injured by being struck by a car,
after school and off campus.
The court concluded the District owed Eric no duty, as
of the time of his injuries, to provide him safe
transportation under its transportation safety plan (TSP). (§
39831.3, Gov. Code, § 815.)
On appeal, Eric argues the trial court erroneously determined as
a matter of law that the District owed him no duty of reasonable
care during the events leading up to his injuries ..
We agree with Eric that, as a matter of law, and under existing
authorities, the trial court incorrectly determined the District did
not owe Eric a duty of reasonable care at the relevant times
during these events. (Hoyem v. Manhattan Beach City School
District (1978) 22 Cal.3d 508 (Hoyem).) Moreover,
triable material issues of fact remain regarding the
extent and manner of performance of that duty, and the
summary judgment and underlying summary
adjudication ruling must be reversed.

Coach James "Ted" Carter's

Principal Dianne Carberry and her husband, a coach
who suggested a student take a substance that
caused his kidneys to fail, should have been fired
instead of Carter, who blew the whistle.
Why did Daniel Shinoff and the Escondido Union High
School District board appeal the court's award to
Carter? They should have apologized, paid the victim,
and immediately hired new administrators.

Get the story straight before criticizing
Re: "Illegal is illegal," Community Voices, July 25: Mr.
Gordon Mirrett should stop listening to the right-wing
talking heads and base his thinking on facts. His
statement, "The Supreme Court, in Muehler v. Mena, has
already held that police do not need any reason (not
probable cause, not reasonable suspicion) to ask a
person about his or her immigration status," is false. The
police were legally allowed to question Ms. Mena about
her immigration status only because they had already
detained her on a possible drug charge for which they
had a legal search warrant. So perhaps Mirrett should get
his story straight before he criticizes Mr. Davis
(Community Voices, July 21).
Also, I think you will find that Mirrett was not quite right in
the New Black Panther "case." The Bush Department of
Justice decided not to pursue the New Black Panther
incident during his waning administration and the Obama
Department of Justice did likewise due to the extreme
difficulty of proving voter intimidation — so why bring that
up now? I'm sure I know the answer.

HEARING SESSION
This is the appropriate point in the meeting for members of the
audience to speak on matters of special concern not on the present
agenda. Mrs. Roxanne Stanley read the following statement: “I am
Roxanne Stanley. I have absolutely no qualms about my case
being discussed in an open forum as I feel it should be. I have
maintained and vindicated by arbitration that I have done nothing
wrong so why should this case go behind closed doors unless it
is to hide conduct by others? This is not about me any more, but
as brought to light in the arbitrator’s scathing decision paper it is
about the actions of district administrators. Administrators of
conscience and integrity would excuse themselves from the
deliberations of this case so as not to show conflict of interest or
unfairly influence the Board’s decision. Trying the case again
behind closed doors without an advocate to defend me is not
right. Thank you. Roxanne Stanley, November 5, 2007.”
Mrs. Patty de Jong responded that even though Mrs. Stanley had
agreed to have her concerns shared in Open Session, that it may
be possible that other employees may be mentioned during this

FUESD bus number 76 is said by some drivers to have
had severe exhaust problems that they feel may have
endangered local children’s health.
A group of Fallbrook Union Elementary School
District (FUESD) bus drivers say the district failed to notify
parents of a situation they felt endangered the health of children riding a
certain school bus in 2004 and 2005.
Bus drivers Kathy Maebert, Roxanne Stanley and
Gaylen Brady allege that students riding FUESD bus
number 76 during those years were exposed to
significant amounts of exhaust fumes, until the district
finally repaired the bus in June of 2005.
“A smell doesn’t mean there is a danger,” said Jim Whitlock, assistant
superintendent of personnel services at FUESD. “It’s interesting that no
children or parents have complained about it.”
The drivers say exhaust from the bus was escaping back into the bus
through a loose shroud that provided a six-inch passageway for the
fumes to flow throughout the bus.
“If kids were getting sick, I’d know,” said Whitlock. “We regularly check
each bus in our fleet every 45 days, and we have a newer fleet than
other districts comparable to us.”
Whitlock did say that bus 76 was repaired in June of 2005, following a
driver complaint, and produced a copy of the record that indicated the
following tasks had been completed as a result: exhaust leak repaired,
(2) tires replaced, reseal engine intake inside bus, replace decal inside
right side emergency door, steam clean, replace clamp at turbo and
replace headlight.
Stanley, who drove the bus during the time period in question, says
before the bus was repaired, she suffered a collapsed lung in March of
2005 because of it.
“[The district] got me off the bus so I couldn’t tell the kids [what
happened],” Stanley claims. “There were things made up to get me off
the bus.”
Before driving this particular bus, Stanley says, she was a healthy,
strong individual and 2007 marks her nineteenth year working for the
elementary school district.
“What makes anyone think that some of those kids aren’t suffering with
problems [because of the exhaust leak] and the parents think it is
something else?” Stanley asks.
Stanley said some of the symptoms she and/or others with excessive
exposure to exhaust fumes experience are a nagging cough, flu-like
symptoms, chronic bronchitis, headaches and, possibly, the onset of
asthma.
Stanley claims after becoming ill and emphatically complaining about
the condition of the bus, she was “continually harassed by supervisory
personnel” and unfairly disciplined by the District.
Brady says he distinctly remembers Stanley reporting the problem with
the bus to the transportation supervisor and says he feels Stanley was
treated unfairly because “she asks a lot of questions.”
Other drivers of the same bus concur with Stanley’s reports.
Maebert says that, after running the bus on its morning route one day,
she informed a district mechanic, “There was an odor in the bus.”
“He and I looked around the back interior,” she says, “and discovered an
opening along the right side to back of wall which we were able to see
sunlight through and possible looseness around the big box on [the]
righthand side in back of [interior].
“[He] said he would seal up the openings and let me drive the bus for
the afternoon route. After closing the windows, I [then] started to
experience a severe headache along with severe stomach cramps and
[an] extremely sore throat.”
“It was horrific how sick [the bus] made me feel,”
Maebert said. “No wonder [Roxanne] was sick.”
Another driver, Melissa Seymour, says she is certain
the same bus made her ill when she drove it for roughly
three months while Stanley was out on medical leave.
“Every single time I drove it, which was four or five times, I got bronchitis
really bad,” said Seymour. “I’d spend three days on that bus, then I’d be
out sick for a week. It kept making me sick. My lungs would just shut up.
“I was the senior driver, the lead driver, so I would be pulled off my
[regular] special ed route and put in [Stanley’s] bus when she was out
sick and I always had to take bus 76.
“Every time I complained about it smelling funny, [the
mechanic] told me the bus was fine, that it was just all
in my head.
“I would never tell [the kids] that they had to put the windows up in that
bus. The kids complained every time about the smell.”
Seymour is now retired on medical disability after 23 years on the job.
During 2004 and 2005, bus number 76 was the vehicle used on the
morning pickup and afternoon return route for third through sixth grade
students traveling from Alturas Road to Live Oak Elementary School and
seventh and eighth grade students traveling from Camp Pendleton to
Potter Junior High.
Although the bus has since been repaired, it is no longer used as a
primary bus, Brady says. “As far as I know it is only used, if needed, on
field trips now.”
“This bus is not in regular service right now,” said Ray Proctor, assistant
superintendent. “It’s used as a substitute bus – not for any fear of a
problem, just that we like to rotate buses due to mileage numbers.”
Brady went on to say that he has noticed that additional precautions are
being taken now in bus maintenance now that he claims never took
place before.
“They are now taking some precautionary measures by
having the mufflers cleaned on the buses,” Brady said.
What worries these drivers most is that they feel that parents of children
who rode the bus during the problem time are not aware of the exhaust
leak.
“Who knows where all the [Camp Pendleton] kids are now?” Brady said.
“When I asked my supervisor [at the time] if the parents
were going to be notified, I was disciplined for
insubordination,” Stanley said, “but they have to let
parents know.”

for their client, Escondido Union High School District. The Plaintiff
sued the District claiming, among other things, national origin
discrimination and harassment, and retaliation.

employment action.

The district lost this case--twice. A board member,
Art Palkowitz, was given a job at Dan Shinoff's law
firm. Tens of thousands of dollars kept flowing to
Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz law firm in a case that
involved a demand of less than $7,000.
A justice in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said:
"This whole dispute is about counsel [attorney] fees, I assume.
"Nobody in their right economic mind would be carrying this case
to the Ninth Circuit that seems to me to involve something like
$67,000....
"What's really at stake here in terms of the lawsuit itself is
whether you should reimburse somewhere between 6 and 7
thousand dollars [to the parents].
"For this amount of money you've gone through a hearing before a
hearing officer, a proceeding in the District Court, and now you're
appealing to the Ninth Circuit.
"It seems to me, and I don't blame you necessarily, I just want to
be clear. This whole dispute is about counsel fees, isn't it?"
Jack Sleeth: "No."
Justice: "No?"

Insurance company pays $250K to settle
football lawsuit
February 7, 2001
ADAM KAYE
The San Dieguito Union High School District and its insurance
company have agreed to pay $250,000 to settle in mid-trial a
lawsuit brought by a former La Costa Canyon High School football
player against the school district and three equipment suppliers.
Attorneys from all sides agreed upon the settlement on Thursday,
according to Vista Superior Court records.
Robert "Bobby" Rodriguez and his family sued over head injuries
Rodriguez allegedly suffered during a junior varsity football game
on Nov. 13, 1998, when the youth was 15 years old.
The family sought $50 million in damages.
The settlement dismisses the litigation against the school district,
Athletic Helmet Inc., face-guard maker Schutt Manufacturing Co.
and equipment supplier Gunther's Athletic Service, said Dan Shinoff,
an attorney representing the school district.
The San Dieguito district's insurance carrier will incur the cost of the
settlement and will cause "no direct damage" to the school district's
budget, Shinoff said.
Jurors were told the trial before Judge Thomas Nugent could last
five weeks. It ended, however, on its eighth day.
"The (Rodriguez) family decided they were not going to pursue (the
case) any further," Shinoff said. "It's my personal belief they began
to recognize it was a very, very marginal case against the school
district and its staff."
Colin Cossio, the attorney representing the Rodriguez family, has
not returned repeated calls to discuss the case.
Rodriguez continues to suffer "very profound injuries," Shinoff said,
including partial blindness, speech and cognitive damage.
Rodriguez's conditions probably will affect him for the rest of his
life, Shinoff said.
During the trial's opening arguments on Jan. 23, both sides agreed
that on the day of the game against Torrey Pines High School,
Rodriguez suffered a subdural hematoma, or bleeding between the
skull and the brain.
Rodriguez's attorney argued that the football team's equipment
manager was inexperienced and gave the boy a helmet that didn't
fit; that Rodriguez also didn't receive swift treatment when he
complained of headaches during the game; and that the school
district's equipment supplier, Gunther's Athletic Service, did not
follow national guidelines applied toward reconditioning helmets,
rendering the headgear defective.
Attorneys for the equipment companies said Rodriguez suffered
from pre-existing conditions and the boy's medical history
contributed to his head injury.
Jeff Morris, an attorney for the school district, argued that there was
no delay in treating Rodriguez when he collapsed during the game.

Lesbian teacher settles discrimination lawsuit
The Associated Press
Friday May 24, 2002
OCEANSIDE – A high school teacher who claimed she was harassed
and denied a promotion because she is a lesbian has settled her
lawsuit against the Oceanside Unified School District.
The district will pay Dawn Murray more than $140,000 and provide its
employees with annual sensitivity training on issues of sexual
orientation discrimination, the Lambda Legal advocacy group said
Thursday.
Murray also resigned as part of the settlement, the district’s lawyer
Daniel Shinoff said.
Murray, a biology teacher at the school for nearly 20 years and winner
of national teaching awards, said she was denied a promotion to
director of student activities and suffered ongoing harassment by her
colleagues at the 2,000-student school north of San Diego.
Colleagues accused her of having sexual encounters with another
teacher on campus during school hours, she said, and her
classroom was vandalized. While she told some colleagues she is
gay, Murray complained that an unwelcome “outing” in front of staff
opened her up to verbal attacks.
Murray said she was threatened with disciplinary action when she
complained.
An appellate court ruled in April 2000 that Murray had the right to sue
the district for discrimination under a 1999 amendment to the Fair
Employment and Housing Act. The state Supreme Court upheld the
ruling in August 2000.
In a statement, Murray said she hoped the case would show other
school districts “if they respond to harassment in an inappropriate
way, we will stand up, the laws will protect us, and they will be made
to stop.”
“Young people learn from adult behavior, and it was important to
wage this fight to show students all people have to be treated fairly,”
she said.
Shinoff said the district’s insurance carrier would pay the settlement
deal. He said the district, however, continues to maintain that
“anything that occurred was not the result of discrimination based on
her sexual orientation.”

Gabriel, a minor v. SMUSD
School Did Not Violate Boy's Civil Rights During
Restraints, Jury Says
By Dave Reynolds, Inclusion Daily Express
April 3, 2003
VISTA, CALIFORNIA--A jury ruled Wednesday that San Marcos
school employees did not violate the civil rights of an 8-year-old
boy when they forcibly restrained him in his special education
classroom, the San Diego Tribune reported.
The decision ends a four-week trial stemming from a lawsuit filed
by the boy's mother against the San Marcos Unified School
District. Neither the mother nor the son were identified in the
news report.
Jurors heard that the boy, who has developmental disabilities,
was restrained by special education teachers and aides face
down on the floor or was taken by force from the classroom 145
times over a six-month period in 2000.
The boy's mother bristled when lawyers for the school district
said her son was "out of control" and "extremely psychotic."
School officials said that the boy was loud and obnoxious, he
refused to cooperate with staffers and often soiled his pants. At
times he threatened to throw his feces at teachers, aides and
fellow students, school officials said.
"He's not a monster," the mother said outside the courtroom.
"He's not a psychotic crazed animal. He's a sweet, special boy."
Her lawyer said jurors told him privately that they didn't approve of
the way the boy was treated, but were concerned about hurting
school finances.
The mother said the lawsuit was not about money. "It was about
the way they treated my son," she explained.

Lost cash more than admitted, suit says
Ex-cheer coach accused of taking over $55,000
San Diego Union Tribune
By Chris Cadelago
August 9, 2006
RANCHO SAN DIEGO – The amount of money missing from the
Valhalla High School cheerleading program is much according to
a lawsuit filed by the Grossmont Union High School District.
The lawsuit states that Bobbie Norby, 47, of El Cajon took more
than $55,000 in less than three years of working for the district as
cheer adviser and gymnastics coach.
Norby has yet to list a lawyer on court papers, or respond to the
district's complaint. She did not return repeated calls for comment
yesterday. However, she disputes the district's dollar figure, stating
“dollar amount is incorrect” on a signed court form.
In a signed May 11 statement, Norby admitted cashing or
depositing seven checks made out to the cheer program into her
own personal bank accounts. The statement, in which she
estimates taking $10,000 to $15,000, was part of a report
compiled by private investigator Robert Price, who was hired by the
district's lawyers.
The full report was obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune
through a public information request.
“I will do everything I can to repay the money,” reads the statement,
which is Exhibit A in the district's lawsuit. “I will also help in any
way I can to account for the money that I have stolen and the
money I have received from Valhalla Cheer this year.”
The Sheriff's Department is still investigating the case and Norby
has not been arrested or charged with a crime. Detective Bob
Niderost said last week that Norby's admission is “not enough
proof.”
In the civil suit, filed in mid-May, the district accuses Norby of fraud
and deceit, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Its lawyers
are asking for full reimbursement, including all legal fees.
“I am surprised that I haven't heard anything from her yet,” said
Daniel Shinoff, the school district's lawyer. “Her time is running
out.” No date has been set for the first meeting, but if Norby doesn't
respond soon, the district will win by default, he added.
Norby worked for the district from about 2003 to spring 2006,
according to the suit. She was considered a district employee but
classified as a volunteer who received a stipend. From 2005 to
2006, she received stipends totaling $1,614, records show.
Team officials in January noticed almost all of the money in the
cheer program's account had gone missing. Valhalla's head cheer
coach pitched in for one event in Anaheim, but the team's next
event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, which parents had
already paid for, was canceled.
“This is sad because it's the girls that had to suffer because of
this,” cheer mom Noreen Wilson of El Cajon said yesterday.
There was a similar case in Chula Vista Elementary School
District, but Daniel Shinoff represented clients who were friends of
the embezzler, Kimberlee Simmons.

Shinoff disputes where she lives
Here's what yesterday's San Diego Union Tribune article by Bruce
Lieberman says:
"Called “basic aid” school districts, they are funded by property taxes
because those revenues are higher than the per-pupil funding they
would otherwise receive from the state.
"Because the amount of money that basic aid districts receive is
unrelated to enrollment, those districts often go to great lengths to
make sure students live within their boundaries.
"In Sarquilla's case, the Solana Beach district hired a private
investigator to follow the mother and her children to try to confirm
where they live.
"'What this district did, as many school districts do if there is a
question of residency, is they'll use the services of a private
investigator. That's not uncommon,' said Dan Shinoff, the district's
attorney...
"At the district's request last summer, Sarquilla provided a copy of
her rental agreement and a utility bill. But the agreement covered
only July 2007, and her utility bill for that month was only $11.80.
“To me, it looks as though these folks left the district and just didn't
want to say they left the district,” Shinoff said.
"The district's private investigator, meanwhile, has determined that
Sarquilla and her children do not live in the South Nardo Avenue
apartment complex, Shinoff said. As for the utility bill, Shinoff said:
“She got the best deal in America.”
"Sarquilla said she rents on a month-to-month basis, so the rental
agreement she provided last summer reflected that. Her utility bill –
more recent ones she has submitted are about as low – is not proof
that she and her children do not live there, she said.
"'Questioning the amount of my SDG&E bill is ridiculous, and it
infuriates me,' Sarquilla said.
"Sarquilla has since submitted to the district a letter from the
manager of her apartment complex, along with a ledger of rental
payments that suggest that she has paid rent there since June 2003.
"Shinoff said that Sarquilla's documentation has been confusing but
that the ledger does appear to support her claim of residency.
"'The payment ledger and what the resident manager has to say
might . . . determine the whole issue,'he said. 'If she's living there,
then she's living there, and if the kids are living there, then they're
living there. It shouldn't be any great issue.'"

Fallbrook High School District seems to be having free speech
issues similar to Poway's. The ACLU is suing Fallbrook to protect
the right of students to express their views in student newspapers.
ACLU sues Fallbrook High School over free
speech issues
By Bruce Lieberman
SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
November 11, 2008
The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the Fallbrook Union
High School District, charging that Fallbrook High's principal
violated the free speech of students when he censored two
articles, axed the newspaper's faculty advisor position, cut the
journalism class and killed publication of the Tomahawk
newspaper...
The lawsuit is demanding that the high school district restore the
journalism class and reinstate its advisor, Dave Evans. The ACLU
is also asking for a court order prohibiting school or district officials
from censoring future publication of the articles killed last school
year.
One of the articles, scheduled for publication last November,
suggested that former district Supt. Tom Anthony had hesitated to
open Fallbrook High as an evacuation center during the October
2007 fires.
The second article, scheduled for publication last May, was an
editorial that had criticized the Bush administration's support for
teaching abstinence in the public schools.
The district's attorney, Dan Shinoff, has said that Fallbrook High
principal Rod King was concerned that the first article contained
factual inaccuracies. As for the second piece on abstinence, King
was concerned that its tone and language suggested that it was
likely written by an adult and not a student as claimed, Shinoff said.
The student whose byline appeared on the unpublished editorial
has insisted that she alone wrote the piece.
[Blogger's note: A good student in high school writes like an adult,
especially if she revises a piece a couple of times. The principal
knows this very well. His excuse for censoring the editorial is not
credible. Shame on the principal for denying that the girl spoke the
truth when she said that she wrote the essay by herself. He's
making up an accusation simply to justify his arbitrary and illegal
action.]
Shinoff has said further that the district's decision to cancel the
journalism program predated much of the controversies over the
Tomahawk and was due entirely to state budget cuts.

2nd witness says Scotty Eveland complained of
headaches before collapse
By J. Harry Jones
SDUT
January 15, 2011
[See related case: what happens when a coach tries to protect
a student's health?]
A former student trainer has testified that a few days after
Mission Hills High football player Scotty Eveland collapsed
during a game in 2007, the school’s lead trainer confided that
Eveland had asked to sit out because he was suffering from
headaches and disorientation but was called in anyway by the
head coach.
The account, given during a deposition completed
Wednesday, corroborates testimony from another former
student trainer who was deposed in October.
The San Marcos Unified School District has maintained that
Eveland showed no sign of medical problems before the
collapse. Scott Gommel, the lead trainer, said the same during
his deposition four months ago. A judge has agreed to let
lawyers for Eveland’s family redepose Gommel because of the
new information.
Eveland has remained in a mostly vegetative state since his
collapse. Doctors think he will need constant medical care that
could cost millions of dollars over his lifetime.
Testimony from the two former student trainers is part of
evidence collection in an ongoing lawsuit filed by Eveland’s
family against the school district.
San Marcos Unified is confident it will “absolutely be
vindicated” at trial, said Daniel Shinoff, a lawyer for the district.
He also urged that facts be decided in a court of law and not in
the court of public opinion.
Shinoff said it’s a complicated case “in terms of people’s
perceptions, people’s recollection, and there’s a large
passage of time.”
On Thursday, school officials denied a request to interview
Gommel and the head football coach, Chris Hauser, who has
not been deposed.
Robert Francavilla, an attorney for Eveland’s family, said the
latest deposition confirms what really happened.
“Scotty lives every day with an injury that we believe could have
been prevented,” Francavilla said.
Eveland’s parents, Diane Luth and stepfather Paul Luth, said
they had no idea their son was experiencing headaches. They
now devote themselves to caring for him.
Until Breanna Bingen’s deposition in September, there was no
mention of Eveland having a health complication.
More than 50 depositions have been taken for the lawsuit —
from doctors, paramedics and others connected to the football
team or the game. Only Bingen and now Trevor Sattes have
spoken about Eveland complaining of headaches, although
one player testified that Eveland was acting disoriented during
the game.
Until this fall, the family had focused their lawsuit against the
maker of Eveland’s helmet and the question of whether
Eveland was sent to the hospital in a timely manner. The
information from Bingen and Sattes has changed the target
dramatically, Francavilla said.
Bingen testified that she was one of several student trainers
on the field the night of Eveland’s collapse. She recalled that
he twice complained about headaches during the week before
the game and sat out parts of two practices. She also
remembered overhearing him tell Gommel a few minutes
before the game about not being able to see the football
because his head was killing him.
Eveland wanted to skip at least the first quarter in hopes that
his head would feel better, Bingen testified, but Hauser
disagreed and told Gommel, “you’re no doctor.”
Bingen, now a member of the Army National Guard, hasn’t
been available for comment.
The person who corroborated her testimony was Sattes, now
21 and a college student studying to become a trainer. Sattes
testified that he considered Gommel to be his mentor, and that
he met with Gommel for lunch the Monday or Tuesday
following Eveland’s collapse.
In a statement signed by Sattes and then confirmed during the
deposition, Sattes said: “While eating lunch, I asked Mr.
Gommel again what happened with Scotty. He told me he was
going to explain what occurred in order to make me a better
trainer. ... Mr. Gommel then stated that Scotty told him he did
not feel well enough to play the first quarter and that Scotty did
not feel like he should play. Mr. Gommel told me that he
assessed Scotty’s condition and found him to be a little wobbly
and having trouble focusing.
“Mr. Gommel then told me he went to Coach Hauser to
discuss Scotty’s condition. ... Mr. Gommel said Coach Hauser
made the decision to play Scotty.”
Through school officials, Hauser declined to comment for this
story.
During her deposition, Bingen also testified that Principal Brad
Lichtman, Gommel and an assistant football coach told her
and others to not talk about the case with lawyers or the
media. An attorney for the school district said that never
happened, and Sattes didn’t address that issue in his
deposition.

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.]

The Appellate Practice department is headed by
partner Paul V. Carelli IV. Mr. Carelli is a Certified
Specialist in Appellate Law, as recognized by the
California State Bar’s Legal Board of Specialization.
The Appellate Practice department has handled
countless civil appeals and writs in the United States
Supreme Court, the California Courts of Appeal,
and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Success in an appellate practice is based on first-
class research and writing skills, knowing which
arguments work and which ones do not, and on
outstanding oral advocacy skills—all key attributes
which our Appellate Practice department possesses.
The firm briefed the United States Supreme Court
and the Ninth Circuit in the important and highly
controversial First Amendment school case of
Harper v. Poway Unified Sch. Dist., 445 F.3d 1166
(9th Cir. 2006), cert. granted and judg. vac., Harper
ex rel. Harper v. Poway Unified Sch. Dist., 127 S.Ct.
1484, 167 L.Ed.2d 225 (2007). In Harper, the Ninth
Circuit held that the First Amendment did not
prohibit school administrators from preventing a
student from wearing a shirt with an anti-gay
message on campus.
Here are additional published cases that the firm
has argued successfully:
* Shirk v. Vista Unified School District (2007) 42 Cal.
4th 201, 164 P.3d 630, 64 Cal.Rptr.3d 210
[representing the school district, successfully
argued that an adult plaintiff's lawsuit was time-
barred where the plaintiff claimed the District
negligently permitted sexual molestation by a
teacher over 25 years ago]
* Manderville v. PCG&S Group, Inc. (2007) 146 Cal.
App.4th 1486, 55 Cal.Rptr.3d 59 [reversing
summary judgment, holding that language in real
estate contract did not provide immunity to real
estate brokers alleged to have misrepresented
aspects of a real estate lot to the buyers]
* Carter v. Escondido Union High School District
(2007) 48 Cal.App.4th 922, 56 Cal.Rptr.3d 262
[reversing $1.3 million dollar jury verdict, and
holding that whistleblower's statement to school
officials warning that a coach had recommended a
weight-gain supplement to a student does not
provide a legal basis for termination in violation of
public policy]
* Austin B. v. Escondido Union Elementary Sch. Dist.
(2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 860, 57 Cal.Rptr.3d 454
[upholding jury verdict finding that teacher did not
abuse autistic students]
* Hood v. Encinitas Union Sch. Dist. (9th Cir. 2007)
486 F.3d 1099 [holding that trial court did not err by
ruling that a student's needs could be met with
appropriate accommodations in the regular

Raymond Firth was a teacher employed by Carlsbad Unified
School District from 1999 to 2007. He taught 3rd grade.
In Fall 2006, the assistant principal walked into Firth's classroom
during recess and found Firth with a girl on his lap. After plaintiff
Jaiden reported the abuse in Fall 2007, an investigation ensued,
but Firth was not immediately charged with any crime due to lack
of evidence. He was placed on administrative leave by the school
district.
After another victim came forward in 2008, Firth was criminally
charged. Then plaintiff Emma came forward in 2009 and reported
that she, too, had been a victim. Firth eventually plead guilty and
was sentenced to prison. Firth groped Jaiden one time outside of
her clothing. Firth molested Emma many times.
Plaintiff's Contentions:
That Firth molested Emma during school year 2006-2007 when
she was a student in his class. That Firth molested Jaiden in Fall
2007 when she was a student in his class, and that Jaiden
immediately reported the abuse.
That Between 2001 and 2007 a few parents complained to the
school's principal about Firth's interactions with girls. That Firth
frequently had his female students sit on his lap during class.
ThatHe was often in the classroom with one or just a few girls
before school or during recess or lunch. That at least one parent
was uncomfortable with this and told the principal.
That the school district was negligent in its supervision of its
teacher. The school's principal received several complaints over
the years about Firth's improper interactions with girls (sitting on
his lap, alone in the classroom, excessive physical contact), yet
did little or nothing to end the misconduct. In Fall 2006 the
assistant principal observed Firth with a girl on his lap and
reported that to the principal, but the principal again did little or
nothing in response. Then, a parent reported similar misconduct
by Firth to another teacher, who failed to report it to the principal.
The school district failed to take adequate action to end the
improper behavior by Firth.
Plaintiffs contended that their government tort claims were
excused from being late because the school district caused the
parents to delay in presenting the claims. Plaintiffs contended that
they suffered severe emotional distress and PTSD as a result of
the molestations.
Defendant school district contended that it had not
received any complaints about Firth. The principal spoke to Firth
about the importance of keeping proper physical boundaries
with students each time the issue was raised and Firth agreed
to do so. At no time did the principal or anyone else from the
school suspect anything improper was taking place. Firth was a
well-liked teacher and had satisfactory performance reviews. The
school was not negligent as it properly supervised its teachers
and had no way of knowing or even suspecting that Firth was
molesting girls.
Defendant school district also contended that each plaintiff filed
a late government tort claim and that each claim was therefore
time-barred. The school district contended that plaintiffs'
emotional distress was caused, in part, by their parents'
divorces. Finally, the school district contended that Firth was
100% responsible for any of the plaintiff's damages, as Firth
committed criminal acts.
Injuries and Other Damages

depression

assistant principal observed Firth with a girl on his lap and
reported that to the principal, but the principal again did little or
nothing in response. Then, a parent reported similar misconduct
by Firth to another teacher, who failed to report it to the principal.
The school district failed to take adequate action to end the
improper behavior by Firth.
Plaintiffs contended that their government tort claims were
excused from being late because the school district caused the
parents to delay in presenting the claims. Plaintiffs contended that
they suffered severe emotional distress and PTSD as a result of
the molestations.
Defendant school district contended that it had not
received any complaints about Firth. The principal spoke to Firth
about the importance of keeping proper physical boundaries
with students each time the issue was raised and Firth agreed
to do so. At no time did the principal or anyone else from the
school suspect anything improper was taking place. Firth was a
well-liked teacher and had satisfactory performance reviews. The
school was not negligent as it properly supervised its teachers
and had no way of knowing or even suspecting that Firth was
molesting girls.
Defendant school district also contended that each plaintiff filed
a late government tort claim and that each claim was therefore
time-barred. The school district contended that plaintiffs'
emotional distress was caused, in part, by their parents'
divorces. Finally, the school district contended that Firth was
100% responsible for any of the plaintiff's damages, as Firth
committed criminal acts.

Abusive high school coach to varsity player with a learning

October 6, 2011
By The Galloping Ghost
The Matador Sports
There are different theories on how to motivate players and turn young
boys into men. San Diego’s Poway High School varsity football coach
Damian Gonzalez stated in an interview that his coaching philosophy is to
“teach the game of football to develop quality character, discipline,
integrity, commitment and work ethic in our student-athletes.” Well
Gonzalez may want to rethink his approach. As a result of constantly
belittling and berating one the members of the Titans football team,
coach Gonzalez and the school district are facing a personal injury
lawsuit for causing physical and emotional injuries to varsity kicker
Brandon Gandara, who was incidentally diagnosed with a specific
learning disability...
In one instance, Gandara was scheduled to undergo foot surgery and
asked to be sidelined from all running drills, but coach Gonzalez did not
see it that way. He instructed Gandara to take to the field and hit the sleds
which ultimately caused more damage to his already injured foot.
If physical abuse was not on Gonzalez’ agenda, verbal abuse certainly
was. Gonzalez would repeatedly call Gandara “fat,” “stupid,” and
“lazy.” It was overheard once that Gonzalez yelled, “do you know why
we hate you? Because you are you, and You Suck!”...

2.8 million verdict to father for elementary
school’s release of child to non-parent
NSBA.org
Oct. 10, 2013
A federal district court jury has awarded the father of an
elementary school student, who was released to an
unauthorized person, $2.8 million in damages, says The
San Diego Union-T[ribune]. The jury held that the
Escondido Union School District (EUSD) was
responsible for allowing the student to be released from
school to a non-parent and kidnapped to Mexico. The
lawsuit centered on the issue of who is authorized to pick up
children from school, and how closely those policies are
followed, especially when dealing with splintered families
and complicated parent work schedules.
When Enrique’s mother, Claudia Cano, was deported in
November 2010, the boy went to live with his father,
according to the lawsuit. Cano notified the school that she’
d been deported. On the morning of December 6, 2010,
Manuel Ramirez dropped off his son at Farr Elementary
School (FES). That day, a person identifying herself as
Cano called the school and spoke with the office manager,
Graciela Mineroa Murguia. She said Enrique had a doctor’s
appointment in 15 minutes but was unable to get out of
work to take him. She told the manager that she was
instead sending her boyfriend to pick him up.
The manager said she checked and saw that the
boyfriend was not listed on the boy’s “emergency
card” as an authorized person for pickup. But
Murguia wrote down his name and said the boyfriend
could do the pickup as long as he showed
identification. A school clerk was staffing the desk when
the boyfriend showed up, and she let Enrique go with him
upon checking the ID, according to court records. Enrique
appeared to recognize the boyfriend, calling him by his
nickname, and looked “happy to see him,” according to the
school district’s trial brief.
When Ramirez returned later that day to pick up
Enrique, only his backpack was in the classroom.
Enrique, a U.S. citizen, is believed to be living in
Mexico with his mother, Claudia Cano.
The lynch pin of the suit was the school’s policy, which
states: “If a student needs to be dismissed during the day,
the school will only let him or her be signed out by someone
who is listed on the emergency card,” and again, “We will
not release your child to anyone not listed on the
emergency card.” The district argued that the policy does
not prohibit a parent’s verbal authorization.
Ramirez’s suit, which was also filed on behalf of Enrique,
named EUSD and FES’s principal and office manager as
defendants. The suit claimed deprivation of father-son
contact, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional
distress. After a five-day trial and two days of deliberation,
the jury awarded the father $2 million and his son
$850,000. The principal, Angel Gotay, was also ordered to
pay punitive damages of $3,500, and the office manager $2.
EUSD’s attorney, Daniel Shinoff,
expressed disappointment with the jury’s
verdict, and stated he planned to
recommend the decision be appealed for a
number of reasons.
According to Ken Trump, president of National School
Safety and Security Services, family custody issues, rather
than random gun violence, are “without a doubt” the biggest
threat facing elementary schools on a day-to-day basis.
“These things are so complex. … Maintaining that chain of
custody of the child is critical. Unfortunately, one mistake
can be a matter of life or death,” said Trump. “Because of
that, school secretaries and principals are typically
extremely vigilant about maintaining the letter of the law,
and it often comes down to what legal orders they have on
file.”
Source: The San Diego Union-Times, 10/3/13, By Kristana
Davis
[Editor's Note: In its February 2012 order denying EUSD et
al's motion to dismiss Ramirez's suit, the federal district
court stated that the federal constitutional right at issue, i.
e., the substantive due process right to family integrity or to
familial association, "is well established." The court held
that the plaintiffs had met their burden on a substantive due
process claim of showing that the defendants' conduct
"shock[ed] the conscience or offend[ed] the community’s
sense of fair play and decency.”
In a case with similar issues, Doe v. Covington Cnty.
Sch. Dist., the plaintiff unsuccessfully argued that
the school district was liable for violating her
substantive due process rights based on the special
relationship exception enunciated in DeShaney v.
Winnebago County Department of Social Services,
489 U.S. 189 (1989), to the well-settled rule that “a State’s
failure to protect an individual against private
violence simply does not constitute a violation of the
Due Process Clause.” In March 2013, Legal Clips
summarized the decision in Covington by a divided U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Ramirez’s theory of liability appears to have taken a page
from the concurring opinion in Covington, which states: “If
the complaint had asserted that the affirmative act of
releasing Jane [the student] to Keyes [the
unauthorized person] was a causal act of
recklessness or deliberate indifference or
intentionality that caused her to be subjected to
injury, and specifically to the deprivation of her right to
bodily integrity, the complaint properly would proceed
through discovery to trial.”]

elementary school student, who was released to an
unauthorized person, $2.8 million in damages, says The
San Diego Union-T[ribune]. The jury held that the
Escondido Union School District (EUSD) was
responsible for allowing the student to be released from
school to a non-parent and kidnapped to Mexico. The
lawsuit centered on the issue of who is authorized to pick up
children from school, and how closely those policies are
followed, especially when dealing with splintered families
and complicated parent work schedules.
When Enrique’s mother, Claudia Cano, was deported in
November 2010, the boy went to live with his father,
according to the lawsuit. Cano notified the school that she’
d been deported. On the morning of December 6, 2010,
Manuel Ramirez dropped off his son at Farr Elementary
School (FES). That day, a person identifying herself as
Cano called the school and spoke with the office manager,
Graciela Mineroa Murguia. She said Enrique had a doctor’s
appointment in 15 minutes but was unable to get out of
work to take him. She told the manager that she was
instead sending her boyfriend to pick him up.
The manager said she checked and saw that the
boyfriend was not listed on the boy’s “emergency
card” as an authorized person for pickup. But
Murguia wrote down his name and said the boyfriend
could do the pickup as long as he showed
identification. A school clerk was staffing the desk when
the boyfriend showed up, and she let Enrique go with him
upon checking the ID, according to court records. Enrique
appeared to recognize the boyfriend, calling him by his
nickname, and looked “happy to see him,” according to the
school district’s trial brief.
When Ramirez returned later that day to pick up
Enrique, only his backpack was in the classroom.
Enrique, a U.S. citizen, is believed to be living in
Mexico with his mother, Claudia Cano.
The lynch pin of the suit was the school’s policy, which
states: “If a student needs to be dismissed during the day,
the school will only let him or her be signed out by someone
who is listed on the emergency card,” and again, “We will
not release your child to anyone not listed on the
emergency card.” The district argued that the policy does
not prohibit a parent’s verbal authorization.
Ramirez’s suit, which was also filed on behalf of Enrique,
named EUSD and FES’s principal and office manager as
defendants. The suit claimed deprivation of father-son
contact, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional
distress. After a five-day trial and two days of deliberation,
the jury awarded the father $2 million and his son
$850,000. The principal, Angel Gotay, was also ordered to
pay punitive damages of $3,500, and the office manager $2.
EUSD’s attorney, Daniel Shinoff,
expressed disappointment with the jury’s
verdict, and stated he planned to
recommend the decision be appealed for a
number of reasons.
According to Ken Trump, president of National School
Safety and Security Services, family custody issues, rather
than random gun violence, are “without a doubt” the biggest
threat facing elementary schools on a day-to-day basis.
“These things are so complex. … Maintaining that chain of
custody of the child is critical. Unfortunately, one mistake
can be a matter of life or death,” said Trump. “Because of
that, school secretaries and principals are typically
extremely vigilant about maintaining the letter of the law,
and it often comes down to what legal orders they have on
file.”

Davis
[Editor's Note: In its February 2012 order denying EUSD et
al's motion to dismiss Ramirez's suit, the federal district
court stated that the federal constitutional right at issue, i.
e., the substantive due process right to family integrity or to
familial association, "is well established." The court held
that the plaintiffs had met their burden on a substantive due
process claim of showing that the defendants' conduct
"shock[ed] the conscience or offend[ed] the community’s
sense of fair play and decency.”
In a case with similar issues, Doe v. Covington Cnty.
Sch. Dist., the plaintiff unsuccessfully argued that
the school district was liable for violating her
substantive due process rights based on the special
relationship exception enunciated in DeShaney v.
Winnebago County Department of Social Services,
489 U.S. 189 (1989), to the well-settled rule that “a State’s
failure to protect an individual against private
violence simply does not constitute a violation of the
Due Process Clause.” In March 2013, Legal Clips
summarized the decision in Covington by a divided U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Ramirez’s theory of liability appears to have taken a page
from the concurring opinion in Covington, which states: “If
the complaint had asserted that the affirmative act of
releasing Jane [the student] to Keyes [the
unauthorized person] was a causal act of
recklessness or deliberate indifference or
intentionality that caused her to be subjected to
injury, and specifically to the deprivation of her right to
bodily integrity, the complaint properly would proceed
through discovery to trial.”]
