On the heels of a Ninth Circuit victory relating to the same events, the Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of a student’s discrimination claim for failure to comply with the Government Claims Act.

The Court also rejected plaintiff’s alternative argument that he substantially complied with the claims statute.
