Opinion

DISCUSSION so that the paragraph begins, “The County contends”. This modification does not change the judgment.

THE COURT:

RAYE , P. J.

NICHOLSON , J.

HOCH , J.

The question presented here is whether the causes of Brooks‟s psychiatric injury were personnel actions. The parties do not dispute whether those actions were lawful, nondiscriminatory, and taken in good faith. With that understanding, we refer to the defense under section 3208.3, subdivision (h) as the “personnel action defense” because it is unnecessary to be more specific.
