     Just a reminder. Because of Columbus Day, courts in Los Angeles County will be closed on Monday.

     Among the notable local court cases next week include the Tuesday sentencing of Kelly Mahaffey, a La Mirada resident and former La Pluma Elementary PTA president. She was convicted in June of nine counts of identity theft, grand theft of a $4,650 check, possession of methamphetamine, multiple identifying information theft, theft of access card information with intent to use it fraudulently, grand theft of lost property, second degree-commercial burglary and forgery.

     The defense wanted probation for her while the prosecution says she deserves prison.

     Mahaffey was supposed to be sentenced in July but the judge ordered she be evaluated for 90 days by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The CDCR will make recommendations in a report submitted to the court.
