What is the test for establishing that police officers directed plaintiff to where to park?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Roddenberry v. Roddenberry, 44 Cal.App.4th 634, 51 Cal.Rptr.2d 907 (Cal. App. 1996):

"If plaintiff's testimony in this respect as given [44 Cal.App.4th 654] in his deposition was in error, he had nine months prior to trial within which to correct it. Had he done so, he would have been called upon to explain the former testimony as a misreporting of his answers, a mistake on his part, or the product of a misunderstanding. Such an explanation would have created a fact issue. But plaintiff did not choose this course. He chose, instead, simply to make contradictory statements to the effect that he was directed where to park while continuing to make corroborative admissions that the decision was his own. Under these circumstances, we conclude that there was no substantial evidence that the officers directed plaintiff where to park." Mikialian v. City of Los Angeles, supra, 79 Cal.App.3d 150, 160, 144 Cal.Rptr. 794.
