- Ex-LA sheriff pushes Ninth Circuit for second shot at suit over county’s ‘do not rehire’ designation
Former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva appeals a court decision dismissing his lawsuit against the Board of Supervisors, who placed him on a 'do not rehire' list after his 2018 election loss. The district court found no evidence the designation affected his employment or was retaliatory for his political criticisms, but his attorney argues it caused reputational harm due to harassment and discrimination allegations.
