A San Mateo County court rejected embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus’ attempt to block removal proceedings against her, County Attorney John Nibbelin announced during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. “The court denied the petition for a TRO (temporary restraining order),” Nibbelin said. “The court indicated that it would be premature to rule on matters as such.” According to Nibbelin, the temporary restraining order was denied on procedural grounds rather than on the substance of the filing. Corpus’ attorneys argued the removal process violates her right to due process and pledged to continue challenging it in court.
