Bisno v. Leonard

THE COURT. This original proceeding in mandamus was brought by an assistant professor at San Francisco State College who did not have teacher’s tenure but held his position by appointment from year to year. The issues raised are identical with those in Pockman v. Leonard, ante, p. 676 [249 P.2d 267], this day decided, and on the authority of that case petitioner is entitled to payment of compensation for services rendered up to and including 30 days following October 3, 1950, the effective date of sections 3100-3109 of the Government Code (Stats. 1951 [3d Ex. Sess. 1950, ch. 7] p. 15), but, having failed to take the required oath, he is not entitled to compensation for any subsequent period.

Insofar as petitioner seeks payment of salary or other relief for any period subsequent to 30 days after October 3, [889195]0, the application is denied. Let a writ of mandate issue for the limited purpose of directing payment of petitioner’s salary up to and including 30' days after October 3, 1950.

CARTER, J. I dissent.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Pockman v. Leonard, this day filed, ante, p. 676 [249 P.2d 267], I would issue a writ of mandate as prayed for in the petition.

Petitioner’s application for a rehearing was denied November 14, 1952. Carter, J., was of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
