Jimenez v. Saddleback Memorial Med. Ctr., Inc.
On February 11, 2008, plaintiff Rene Rosales Jimenez filed a complaint for damages in the Orange County Superior Court against defendant Saddleback Memorial Medical Center (Saddleback), three named individuals, and 100 Does. The complaint alleged causes of action arising out of plaintiff's employment at Saddleback, including violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq. (FEHA); all undesignated statutory references are to the Gov. Code). His causes of action included harassment and retaliation, employment discrimination, failure to prevent employment discrimination and harassment, failure to accommodate his disability and failure to engage in a good faith interactive process to determine appropriate accommodations, wrongful and tortuous discharge in violation of public policy, unfair business practices (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.), and intentional infliction of emotional distress. By the time the trial concluded, two of the three individuals named as defendants were no longer involved in the case, the court having sustained a demurrer and granted summary judgment in their favor. Rodney Butler was the sole remaining individual named as a defendant.
