Oakland Mayor Jean Quan faces punishment from the federal court if she skips another deposition about the pace of Police Department reforms, a magistrate warns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attorneys Jim Chanin and John Burris are trying to put the Police Department under federal receivership. They say the department has failed to fully implement reforms required under a 2003 court order.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Chronicle says the mayor canceled an all-day deposition on Aug. 30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A federal magistrate has now warned the mayor to show up at a Sept. 25 deposition or she will face possible punitive actions.<\/p>\n

The mayor says she will be there to testify.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lawyers want Quan’s answers before an Oct. 4 deadline for submitting arguments on whether a federal judge should impose receivership.<\/p>\n

Mayor Quan has had quite the amount controversy since she entered office! Not good for the first Asian American woman to lead a major U.S. city. <\/strong><\/p>\n
