Description
WASTE, C.J. Application for writ of prohibition. Petitioner is the secretary-actuary of the Retirement Board of the San Francisco City and County Employees Retirement System. As such, it is his duty to supervise the compensation, medical care and hospitalization of city employees receiving injuries arising out of and in the course of their employment, and to keep all the medical reports concerning such injuries. In an action brought on behalf of an injured employee of the city, petitioner refused to appear in answer to a subpoena to take a deposition. For such refusal he was adjudged to be in contempt of court, and is about to be sentenced for his disobedience of the courts process. He is here seeking by writ of prohibition to avoid the infliction of the penalty.
