          Petitioners and the LASD                                                    
               During 1986, petitioner was employed as a deputy sheriff               
          with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD).  Petitioner               
          began working for the LASD on August 24, 1970.  From April 12,              
          1981, until November 2, 1986, the LASD assigned petitioner to its           
          Narcotics Bureau.  From October 25, 1982, until November 2, 1986,           
          petitioner was assigned to Major Violators Crew II (Majors II),             
          an elite narcotics enforcement team, to investigate money                   
          laundering and narcotics trafficking.  On November 2, 1986, the             
          LASD promoted petitioner to sergeant, transferred him out of the            
          Narcotics Bureau, and assigned him to the Lakewood station.                 
               During 1986, Mrs. Gordon was not employed.  She worked for             
          the LASD from October 28, 1974, until November 4, 1985, the date            
          she retired.  On or about December 14, 1985, Mrs. Gordon received           
          a pension check dated December 11, 1985, in the amount of                   
          $18,799.26.  Petitioner deposited this check into petitioners'              
          account at Chino Valley Bank (Chino).                                       
               Eufrasio G. Cortez (Cortez) joined the LASD in July 1975.              
          Cortez was assigned to Majors II from November 1982 until                   
          September 1989.                                                             
               In January 1986, the Majors II team arrested Angel Leon                
          (Leon) and other suspects for trafficking cocaine and laundering            
          money.  Majors II seized at least $200,000 in cash.
