A California judge has ordered the University of Southern California to stay its expulsion of football player Bryce Dixon, who was expelled late last year for alleged sexual assault.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert H. O’Brien granted Dixon’s request for a stay of the results of a disciplinary process that was “lacking in due process, with no hearing, no right to counsel, no rules of evidence, no presumption of innocence, no right to possess copies of witness statements and evidence and no right to confront witnesses against him,” according to Dixon’s writ of administrative mandate.
