1994(Id., at pp. 225-226.) The court stated that cases which found a fatal variance between the claim and the complaint involved a “complete shift in allegations, usually involving an effort to premise civil liability on acts or omissions committed at different times or by different persons than those described in the claim.” (Id., at p. 226.) In White v.
