FILES, P. J., Dissenting.
I would hold the dismissal effective on October 31, 1975, which was the date of the first hearing at which plaintiff had the opportunity to contest the dismissal. The reasoning of Skelly v. State Personnel Bd. (1975) 15 Cal.3d 194, 215 [124 Cal.Rptr. 14, 539 P.2d 774], and Barber v. State Personnel Bd. (1976) 18 Cal.3d 395, 403 [134 Cal.Rptr. 206, 556 P.2d 306], does not require that the delinquent employee be kept on the public payroll for as long as he can keep the administrative proceedings alive. (See Bussey v. Los Angeles County Civil Service Com. (1977) 72 Cal.App.3d 912, 922 [140 Cal.Rptr. 394].)
