In Negron v. Los Angeles County Civ. Serv. Comm, the Court addressed the question whether the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department can discharge a deputy sheriff for misconduct committed while the deputy was on unpaid, relieved-of-duty status.  The Court concluded that the Department had the authority to do so and that the Supreme Court’s decision in Garvin v. Chambers 195 Cal. 212 (1924) did not compel a different result.
