Johnson v. Pacific International Bearing
Plaintiff Rick Johnson, Jr., appeals from a judgment in favor of his former employer, Pacific International Bearing, Inc. (Pacific), and its president, Kevin M. Sweeney,[1] entered after a jury trial on Johnson’s disability discrimination claims against them under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code,[2] § 12900 et seq.).
Johnson contends the trial court prejudicially erred by (1) denying his motions for a directed verdict, judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV), and new trial; (2) allowing Pacific to contest liability based on its asserted lack of knowledge of Johnson’s medical condition; (3) ruling improperly on Pacific’s use of after-acquired evidence; (4) dismissing three of his causes of action after the close of evidence; and (5) improperly awarding costs against him. We find no error, and affirm the judgment.
