How Judge Olguin decides

What persuades
Treats the 2014 California Labor Code amendments (§ 244(a)) as having eliminated administrative-exhaustion prerequisites (including UC internal exhaustion) for whistleblower § 1102.5 claims, displacing the older Campbell rule.
“Based on the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED THAT, defendant's Motion to Dismiss (Document No. 12) is denied.”
Procedural preferences
Decides motions on the papers without oral argument under L.R. 7-15 where argument is unnecessary.
“the court finds that oral argument is not necessary to resolve the Motion, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule 7-15”
Cautions
Strict Fourth-Amendment exigency analysis: a warrantless home entry is presumptively unconstitutional absent true exigent circumstances, and a mere belief that drugs 'potentially' would be destroyed does not suffice even with probable cause.
“Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (Document No. 53) is granted in part as to his claim of unlawful entry in violation of the Fourth Amendment.”
