INTEGRATED INVESTIGATIONS, INC. v. O'DONNELL INTEGRATED INVESTIGATIONS, INC. , et al. , Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. CHRISTY L. O'DONNELL, Defendant and Appellant. BACKGROUND Plaintiffs Integrated Investigations, Inc. (Integrated), Paul F. Thornton, and Ian Farrell filed a lawsuit against the County of Los Angeles (the County) and Christy L. O'Donnell after Integrated, a private investigation company, learned that the County had sent emails and other communications to various entities, stating that Integrated was not to be hired to conduct investigations for the County and related entities. Integrated provided its report on the surveillance of Villegas on April 26, 2009; the report did not address the incident involving the car chase. It alleges that, sometime after the meeting with O'Donnell, Integrated received several calls from various claims adjustors, asking if Integrated was involved in an embezzlement situation in another county, because the County had sent out emails and other communications stating that Integrated was not to be used for any investigations on behalf of the County or other entities. The declaration of Paul Thornton, who is the Vice-President of Integrated, stated that he arranged for the meeting between his investigators and O'Donnell.
