(~
San Francisco, February 2, 1933.
TO: Edgar C. Ott, Relator,
and Clifford Thoms, Esq.,
his Attorney,
and
I
TO ~arl Busse, Proposed
Defendan t,
and William F. McLaughlin, Esq.,
his Attorney.
Application has heretofore been made by the above named relator
for leave to 'sue the proposed defendant in a proceeding in the nature
of quo warranto for the purpose of determining the right of the proposed
defendant to hold and exercise office as "City Councilman of the City
of Arcadia."
Both parties have appeared herein by their reqpective counsel
and fully presented the facts and the law applicable thereto.
From the proposed complaint and the showings made herein by
the respective parties the facts appear to be as follows: In 1911
the proposed defendant, Earl Busse was a police officer of the City
of Los Angeles, and, therefore, both an executive officer and a
peace officer. On July 26, 1911, an information was filed in the
Superior Court in Los Angeles County charging the said Earl Busse
with having, on or about the l5th day of March 19l1, committed the
crime of asking and receiving a bribe. On August 9, 1911, the de-
fendant entered a plea of guilty and applied for probation. On
September 8, 19l1, probation was granted. On March 29, 1932, a
nunc pro tunc order as of December 23, 1914, was made, the plea of
the defendant changed to not guilty, and the "cause dismissed".,
The only information afforded me concerning the plea, appli-
cation for probation, granting of probation and nunc pro tunc order
are' found in a copy of the docket of the Superior Court of the
State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, relating
to the case of People vs. Earl Busse, No. 7063. These docket en-
tries are very brief, and are not amplified by copies of any of. the min-
utes of the court or judge relative to the case, or by any documents
from the file of the case, although it is assumed that such existed.
The docket under date of September 8, 1911 states "Probation five
years", and under date of March 29, 1932 "order nunc pro tunc as
of Deoember 23, 1914 - Plea changed to Not GUilty and Cause'Dis-
missed". While the terms of the probation granted do not appear
it is conceded by the relator "that there is reason to believe
from the record that the five year's probation, received by Earl
Busse, was complied with."
I
In 1911, at the time when the defendant Busse was admitted to
probation, subdivision 5 of Section 1203 of the Penal Code pro-
vided in part:
"Every defendant who has fulfilled the conditions
of his probation for the entire period' thereof ***.
shall at any time prior to the expiration of the
maximum period of punishment for the offense of
Which he has been convicted, dating from *** said
termination of said period of probation, be permitted
by the court to withdraw his ~lea of guilty and
enter a plea of not guilty; * * and *.* the court
shall thereupon dismiss the accusation or informa-
tion against such defendant who shall thereafter
be released from all penalties and disabilities re-
sulting from the offense or crime of which he has
been convicted."
I
In 1927 (Statutes of 1927, page l493) section l203 was so
amended as to provide, among other things:
"Probation shall not be granted *** to any public
official or peace officer of the state, county; city,
city and county or other political subdivision, who,
in the discharge of the duties of his public office
or employment, acce~ted or gave or offered to accept
or give any bribe'" ." ,
In 1911, at the time of the entry of the plea of guilty by the
defendant Busse, the maximum period of punishment for the crime with
which he was oharged was fourteen years.,
I
Assuming that the docket entry above referred to meant that
the periodof probation of the defendant Busse was to expire five
years from and after thedate when the same was' granted (September
8, 1911), this period would have run upon September 7, 1916. Add-
ing to this latter date the "maximum period of punishment", under
the terms of section l203 of the Penal Code as it stood in 1911,
we would be brought to Seutember 7, 1930, as the date before which
under the letter and strict interpretation of section 1203, the
defendant might be permitted to withdraw his plea of guilty and
enter a plea of not guilty.
--
I
I
I
The record before me is silent as to this entire period.
The record is likewise silent as to the reason or basis for the
nunC pro tunc order shown by the docket as made under date of
March 29, 1932.
It will be noted that the nunc pro tunc order of March 29,
1932, is made "as of Dec. 23, 19l4", and that this date,~as prior to
the expiration of the probationary period of five years, which
did not expire by limitation until September 7, 1916.
As section 1203 of the Penal Code stood in 1911 it author-
ized the Court at any time during the term of probation to termi-
nate the period thereof and discharge the person so held, and it
'might therefore be argued from the use of the date of December
23, 19l4 in the nunc pro tunc order that upon that date the Court,
under authority of section 1203, took some action relative to the
period of probation of the defendant Busse.
Upon the facts as above set forth the relator urges the dis-
qualification of the proposed defendant to hold and exercise
office as City Councilman of the City of Arcadia because of the
provisions of section 68 of the Penal Code, providing in part
that:
"Every executive officer or person elected or
appointed to an executive office, who asks,
receives or agrees to receive, any bribe, ***
is forever disqualified from holding any of-
fice in this state."
The entire matter is presented by the relator upon sections
68 and 1203 of the Penal Code and upon the theory that the nunc
pro tunc order under date of March 29, 1932, is wholly void and
subject tm attaok in a proceeding of this oharaoter.
It is unneccessary, however, to here decide that question,
as this case is determined by section 11 of Article XX of the
Constitution of this State.
Section II of Article XX of the Constitution of this State
provides in part:
"Laws shall be made to exclude from office,
serving on juries, and from the right of
suffrage, persons convicted of bribery, per-
jury, forgery, malfeasance in office, or
other high crimes."
Section 22 of Article 1 of the Constitution provides: .
"The provisions of this Constitution are mandatory
and prohibitory, Unless by express words they
are declared to be otherwise."
By virtue of the provisions of section 22 of Article 1 of the
Constitution the duty was imposed upon the legisleture to enact a
law excluding from office individuals' convicted of bribery as well
as other crimes. In the face of this constitutional mandate the
legislature would be without authority to adopt an act providing and
permitting that one convicted of the crime of bribery might even
under the beneficent theory of probation be thereafter qua~ified
to hold office.
A defendant stands convicted upon a plea of guilty. (Penal
Code section 689).
In the case of People v. Acosta, 115 Cal. App. 103, the court
had ocassion to consider this situation, and said in part:
"The word 'Conviction' is usually defined as
the legal proceeding of record which ascer-
tains the guil t of the party upon which the
sentenoe or judgment is founded. (People v.
Rodrigo, 69 Cal. 601). This includes a plea
of guilty as well as conviction by a jury, and
the language used in section 1203 of the Penal
Code plainly shows that such an interpretation
is contemplated thereby."
It would therefore appear that immediately upon the defendant
Busse entering his plea of guilty on August 9, 19l1, to the infor-
mation oharging him with the commission of the crime of bribery,
he _as convicted of that crime, and by reason of the provisions
of section II of Article XX of the Constitution of this State, was
thereafter excluded from the right to hold office.
It is not amiss to note herein that apparently the defend-
ant Busse not only met and complied with all the terms of his
probation, but also has lived an 'exemplary life since the com-
mission of his offense, nearly a quarter of a century ago. It
is in fact stated by him herein without contradiction that although
during his campaign for election to the office of City Councilman I
of the City of Arcadia the fact of his conviction on a charge of
bribery in 1911 was brought to the attention of the electorate,
he was nevertheless elected to office by "the largest vote ever
cast in that City for a member of the City Council.
Authority to give oonsideration to such a situation is not,
however, given to the courts or to the Attorney General, but is
reserved for the pardoning power of the chief executive.
For the foregoing reasons the application of the relator for
leave to sue in a proceeding in the nature of quo warranto is
granted, and formal authority for the filing thereof, together
with the original of the proposed complaint, duly executed, will
be forwarded to counsel for the relator upon there being filed
herein a satisfactory undertaking in accordance with the provis-
ions of Rule 5 of the rules of this office governing such pro-
ceedings.
The relator filed herein with his application an undertaking
executed by himself as principal and the Benjamin Franklin Bond
,and Indemnity Corporation as surety. Since the date of filing
of that undertaking the Benjamin Franklin Bond and Indemnity
Corporation has had it authority to do business in the State of
California revoked by the Insurance Commissioner of the State
of California, and that revocation of authority, although attacked
by the corporation, has, I am informed, been sustained by the
District Court of Appeal. For this reason that undertaking is
not satiSfactory, and the same is returned herewith.
