2019Although the Sheriff’s failure to obtain certifications from approximately 20% of the officers suggests there are ways the Sheriff can improve its follow-up process, there is no basis in the record to conclude that there was such a failure to implement the policy that its adoption was “a mere formality.” (See Ramirez, supra, 5 Cal.5th at p. 1000 [characterizing promulgation obligation in section 17004.7 as “requirements that the public entity implement the policy through training and other means to ensure it is not a mere formality”].)12 The trial court properly concluded there is no triable i

2009Fund v. Riley (1937) 9 Cal.2d 126 , 134—136 [ 69 P.2d 985 ] (Riley) and its progeny held “the state is prohibited from using ‘independent contractors’ except in narrow, exceptional situations.” (Professional Engineers, supra, 15 Cal.4th at p. 563 .) In rejecting Caltrans’s invitation to disapprove and overrule Riley , the Supreme Court explained: “As an analytical matter, Riley’s rule seems appropriate to assure that the state civil service is not neglected, diminished, or destroyed through routine appointments to ‘independent contractors’ made solely on the basis of political considerations o

2018Riley's claim that the court's order is overbroad is likewise without merit. *588 While it is true that a restriction that imposes limitations on a person's constitutional rights must closely tailor those limitations to the purpose of the condition to avoid being invalidated as unconstitutionally overbroad ( In re Sheena K. , supra , 40 Cal.4th at p. 890 , 55 Cal.Rptr.3d 716 , 153 P.3d 282 ), we conclude the court's order is narrowly tailored given the specific circumstances of this case.
