Hartman sued the police department, saying its refusal to hire him over his drug use during his rock 'n' roll days amounted to discrimination against a disabled person.
Hartman was a founding member of the Doobies in 1971. After Hartman left the band in 1979, he worked as a firefighter, then - admitting his past drug use - got a part-time job as a reserve Petaluma policeman in 1988. When he applied in 1991 for a full-time job, he said he had used more drugs than he previously admitted.
U.S. District Judge D. Lowell Jensen ruled Monday that, even if Hartman had been addicted and therefore protected under federal disability law, he had been deceptive about his drug use and the department was entitled to reject him.
Marla Maples Trump's former publicist admitted stashing a pair of her boots but denied stealing her high heels, sneakers and underwear.
Chuck Jones is charged with burglary and possession of property stolen from the model's apartment.
Jones testified Tuesday at a hearing on whether his statements and items found during a search of his office should be admitted as evidence at his trial next week.
Police in 1992 found more than 40 pairs of Maples' shoes and boots and her underwear in Jones' office.
Jones acknowledged only that Trump's boots were in his office closet.
"Did you put the boots in the cabinet?" prosecutor Kevin Hynes asked.
"I guess I did," Jones replied.
George Burns has two years to go before his 100th birthday, and the party already is a sellout.
The comic signed in November to play three shows at Caesars Palace on Jan. 19-21, 1996. His birthday is Jan. 20. Caesars spokeswoman Debbie Munch said Tuesday that the shows, at $100 per ticket, have been sold out and the same is expected for a fourth show added on Jan. 18.
