School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).

Intense speculation adds drama to USC-Indiana football game

College football fans and USC fans noticed something very strange on Wednesday. Heading into USC's game against Indiana , the betting line for Saturday's huge Big Ten contest shifted several points in under an hour. Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times noted this on X. Endless speculation greeted this very peculiar development. Some USC fans speculated that something is up with Jayden Maiava, arguing that's the only reason the line would move four points toward Indiana. Yet, on the injury report released for the game, Maiava did not appear on it. There was nothing on the initial injury report which would suggest that USC is at a significantly worse disadvantage against Indiana. Some people noted that Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover did not appear on the injury report, thinking that might be a reason for the line to jump several points in the Hoosiers' direction. The idea that Josh Hoover could play better with improved health is not totally out of the blue. However, Hoover has consistently underperformed this season, regardless of how healthy he has been. Why would Hoover suddenly play better now? Maybe the fact that Indiana gets a week off before playing USC, combined with Hoover's absence
