A"Defendant Orange County Department of Education
(OCDE) hired plaintiff Michael Sato as a Systems Database
Architect in August 2014. Within a matter of weeks after
Sato started working at OCDE, Sato’s supervisors informed
him that he would be terminated immediately. OCDE
offered no explanation as to why Sato was being terminated,
and Sato insisted that he had performed his duties
satisfactorily during his brief period of probationary
employment with OCDE. Before he was fired, Sato received
no oral or written notice of his termination, and he was given
no opportunity to be heard at a pre- or post-termination
proceeding."
Huh. That happens. I wonder why he was so summarily fired? I guess we'll have to read more of the opinion to get the juicy details.
Hold on. Scratch that. The Orange County school system has immunity under the Eleventh Amendment. So we're not going to find out anything.
