Khan v. City of Long Beach
A jury found that the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) retaliated against Officers Asif Khan and Alberto Vargas in violation of the Fair Housing and Employment Act (FEHA) because they engaged in the protected activity of filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against their direct supervisor, Sergeant Richard Farfan (the Farfan lawsuit). (Gov. Code, 12900 et seq.) The City of Long Beach now appeals the judgment and the trial courts denial of its motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a new trial on the grounds of lack of substantial evidence and improper jury instructions. The judgment is affirmed.
