Opinion
MORRISON, J.
Joezita Biggers petitions for a writ of review, seeking to overturn a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (the Board) that found she was not eligible for benefits under Labor Code section 4850. Labor Code section 4850 provides for a leave of absence at full salary for certain employees of a sheriff’s office who become disabled in the course of employment. Biggers contends that as a courtroom bailiff, her functions clearly came within the scope of active law enforcement, entitling her to those benefits. We agree and annul the order.
