Supes not guilty *

Lawyers for the Times and DA Steve Cooley argued that the Board of Supervisors violated the Brown Act—the state's open meeting law—by deciding behind closed doors to shut the trauma unit at Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center. Nope, says Superior Court judge David P. Yaffe. He ruled there was no violation.

* Win one, lose one: But an appellate court ruled that the Supes broke the law by stripping health benefits from about 600 county physicians during a labor dispute. The county may now owe the doctors millions of dollars, the Daily News reports. 10:30 a.m.
