Merriweather v. City of Los Angeles
Tishandra Merriweather, Tisha Webber, and Darrell Ballard sued their employer, City of Los Angeles (the "City"), as well as individual City employees Leroy Castellano, Dennis Wake, Raul Martinez, Arthur Pacheco, Laz Ruiz, Sammy Recendez, Max Montgomery, and Humberto Rios, for workplace harassment and discrimination in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Government Code section 12900 et seq. ("FEHA"). On summary adjudication, most of the individual defendants were dismissed, as were two of plaintiffs' causes of action. At the trial against the remaining defendants, the City and Ruiz, the jury returned a verdict in favor of defendants. Plaintiffs' motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial were denied. Plaintiffs appeal those rulings.
