Cops get 3 months to enact ref
SAN FRANCISCO — The Oakland Police Department has three months to correct the lingering problems with its effort to implement the reforms required by the settlement of the Riders police-misconduct scandal, a federal judge said Thursday.
While U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson proclaimed himself pleased with the progress of the department, he vowed not to hesitate to impose sanctions if the city fails to meet the deadline.

MP contradicts police officer'
The Government MP John Quigley has contradicted evidence given to a Corruption and Crime Commission inquiry by a former undercover police officer involved in the case against Andrew Mallard.
The CCC is investigating the wrongful conviction of Mr Mallard for the murder of Mosman Park jeweller Pamela Lawrence.
The inquiry has heard evidence from a former undercover officer known as 'Gary' who befriended Mr Mallard just before he was charged in July, 1994.
Gary has told the inquiry that, in 2002, Mr Quigley warned him that, if he did not provide a statement to help clear Mr Mallard's name, his identity would be made public.
Gary said journalists then started calling him.
Recordings of their telephone conversations have been played to the commission today.
Mr Quigley has told the inquiry that he was trying to get Gary to come forward to tell the truth about the undercover operation and to respond to allegations that Mr Mallard was supplied with a bong and cannabis.
The MP has today testified that some members of the media already knew Gary's real name.
Mr Mallard is attending the inquiry today for the first time since public hearings began in July.
Outside the Commission, he said he was disappointed the undercover officer did not speak out at the Royal Commission.
"The undercover officer didn't tell the truth to the Royal Commission in 2002," he said.
"Had he done so, as John was urging him to do, I would have been released from prison three and a half years earlier."
"I'm here to support my good friend an honest, genuine man of integrity, John Quigley," Mr Mallard said.
