Moore v. California Surety Investigations
Plaintiff James Moore injured his back while working as an investigator for defendants California Surety Investigations, Inc. (CSI) and Two Jinn, Inc. (TJ) (together Employer). On August 17, 2007, Moore filed a grievance against Employer alleging his supervisor had spread rumors in the workplace that defamed Moore and, as a result of these defamations, Moore's requests for a "light duty" or modified position to accommodate his physical limitations had been ignored.
Moore subsequently filed this action alleging numerous claims against Employer. On appeal, however, Moore challenges the judgment as to only two of those claims: a disability discrimination claim based on Employer's alleged failure to provide Moore with reasonable accommodations; and a claim alleging Employer failed to engage in the interactive process as required by Government Code section 12940, subdivision (n). Moore also challenges the award of attorney fees and costs ordered as a sanction under Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.420.
