Ms. Acerro,
Pursuant to your request under the California Public Records Act for
information regarding all lawsuits filed against City of Chula Vista
police officers from 1990 to present, I am sending you the attached
document. Your original request was received by the City Clerk on December
28, 2007. I previously responded by e-mail to you on January 11, 2008.
Attached to this e-mail is a list of all lawsuits filed against Chula
Vista police officers from 1990 to the present. For your information,
the following classifications are used in this document to identify the
type of claim involved in the lawsuit: LBI=liability bodily injury
(injury arising out of a non-auto incident), LPD=liability property
damage(property damage arising out of a non-auto incident), ABI=auto bodily
injury (injury sustained as a result of an auto accident), and APD=auto
property damage (property damage sustained as a result of an auto
accident).
By e-mail message to me dated January 11, 2008, you inquired about the
Quinones case and the Terrence Allen case. In response, your original
request was for lawsuits filed against City of Chula Vista police
officers. The Quinones case was not a police case; the litigants did not
name or allege conduct by officers. In further response, no lawsuit has
been filed in the Terrence Allen case.
Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance.
Joan Dawson
Deputy City Attorney
