In the lawsuit filed by Timothy Sturm against the County of Los Angeles Department of Probation, the plaintiff alleges breach of contract by his former employer. The case was filed in the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second Appellate District, Division Seven with a court case ID B321064 on April 25, 2024.
Sturm claimed that despite a settlement agreement stating that he would be reinstated to his position from July 2011 and retire in September 2011, he was not paid for this period. His retirement benefits application was filed in February 2012 after which he was retroactively reinstated effective July 2011. He also claimed non-payment of retirement benefits from October 2011 to February 2012.
Represented by Michael C. Murphy from Law Offices of Michael C. Murphy, Sturm's claims were countered by Hausman & Sosa lawyers Jeffrey Mark Hausman and Larry D. Stratton representing the defendant. The department argued that Sturm was ineligible to work or receive pay as he had not been reinstated until December 2011 and did not retire by the deadline in the settlement agreement.
The plaintiff seeks judgment for breach of contract, claiming that the department failed to adhere to their settlement agreement terms regarding his employment and retirement benefits.
