Plaintiff Kay Marie Gibbs, a former employee of defendant Humboldt County, was a court reporter who worked for the Humboldt County Superior Court for almost 40 years. As she neared retirement, she learned that the county had failed to enroll her in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) during the early years she was working for the court. Her first and second amended complaints against the county and three individual county employees alleged a Kafkaesque scenario in which bureaucratic impediments, indifference, or malfeasance thwarted her attempts to resolve the problem.
The trial court sustained defendants’ demurrers to the complaints and denied her the opportunity to file another amended complaint. On appeal, Gibbs argues that the court erred in doing so. We largely agree and therefore reverse.
