Arroyo v. City of San Diego
Felipe Arroyo, a City of San Diego (City) police officer, brought an action against the City claiming the City discriminated against him based on his Hispanic background and unlawfully retaliated against him when he complained about the discrimination. In a prior trial, the jury found in Arroyo's favor on both of these claims and awarded him $1,325,000. The City appealed, challenging the legal and factual basis for the jury's findings. In a cross-appeal, Arroyo contended the court erred in granting the City's motion for directed verdict on his discrimination claim for failure to promote him to a sergeant position in 1998. On remand, the City successfully moved for summary judgment on Arroyo's failure to promote claim. Arroyo now appeals from that judgment. Court affirm.
