The energy relaxation in the spin-polarized disordered electron liquid is studied in the diffusive regime. We derived the quantum kinetic equation in which the kernel of electron-electron collision integral explicitly depends on the electron magnetization. As the consequence, the inelastic scattering rate is found to have non-monotonic dependence on spin-polarization of the electron system. Based on arxiv:0708.0523
