Judge rules in favor of County of Humboldt against former court reporter

 


In April, I reported former court reporter Kay Marie Gibbs sued the County of Humboldt. Mr. Patrik Griego is Ms. Gibbs' attorney. In that previpus post, are court documents and details of four allegations of failure to discharge mandatory duty under government code and one allegation of negligence.

Del Norte Superior Judge Darren McElfresh issued a written ruling on 6/3/24. I had to wait for the document to be entered in the Humboldt Superior Court system. Judge McElfresh sustained the demurrer filed by County without leave to amend Counts 1 to 4;  denied for Count 5. In his ruling, regarding Count 5 Judge McElfresh said Gibbs "might not survive a Section 822.2 challenge" 





California Government Code Section 822.2

A public employee acting in the scope of his employment is not liable for an injury caused by his misrepresentation, whether or not such misrepresentation be negligent or intentional, unless he is guilty of actual fraud, corruption or actual malice--California Public Law
