The dispute is over allegedly flawed court software.
The public defender, Brendon Woods, has argued since December 2016 that a recent upgrade is inadequate for Alameda County and has resulted in many mistaken jailings.
In March 2017, a local judge rejected Woods’ demands to fix the software, which is known as Odyssey Court Manager and made by Tyler Technologies.
The 1st Appellate District, a state-level appeals court based in San Francisco, ruled that Woods lacked standing to bring the appeal “in his own right.”

Woods, Alameda County Court Executive Officer Chad Finke, and Tyler Technologies were not immediately available for comment. »
