In the case of June LaMarr versus The Regents of the University of California, filed in the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Third Appellate District (Sacramento), under court case ID C097235 on April 5, 2024, plaintiff June LaMarr is appealing against a previous ruling. The lawsuit revolves around allegations that her due process rights were violated when she was demoted without being provided a hearing under Skelly v. State Personnel Bd.
The dispute began when LaMarr faced performance issues and disagreements with her supervisor at the University of California Davis Medical Center. She was temporarily transferred to another department and later given an option to return to her prior position with potential disciplinary actions. Eventually, she accepted a permanent position in the new department for less pay and sued The Regents of the University of California.
LaMarr's claim is that her due process rights were violated as she wasn't provided a hearing under Skelly v. State Personnel Bd. before her demotion. This resulted in her accepting a lower-paying job, leading to financial damages.
