Manning Kass Obtains Writ of Mandate, Vindicating County of Nevada and Deputy Sheriff

In a recently published opinion, the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, issued a writ of mandate ordering the lower court to grant our motion for summary judgment on behalf of the County of Nevada and a deputy. The County and two of its deputy sheriffs were sued following an incident in which a woman was shot and killed by one of the deputies. Los Angeles Equity Partner Mildred K. O’Linn and Partners Steven J. Renick, Lynn L. Carpenter, and Kayleigh A. Andersen secured the decision in favor of our clients, clearing the County and the deputies of liability.
