Judge Oki Dismisses Lawsuit Against Los Altos High School Baseball Coach For Benching A Player

On January 11, 2018, Judge Dan T. Oki in Pomona dismissed a lawsuit brought by a student and his family, alleging that their son did not receive sufficient playing time on the Hacienda La Puente High School baseball team. The civil complaint alleged causes of action for negligence on behalf of the parents of the young student, as well as wide ranging claims for negligent hiring and threats, intimidation or coercion against the school district under the Bane Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, sec. 52.1).

Judge Oki sustained the defendants’ demurrer to the plaintiffs’ complaint without leave to amend.  The case was handled by Justin Reade Sarno and Louis R. Dumont.
