Fuller v. County of Los Angeles
Douglas Fuller, a former firefighter trainee with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, appeals the judgment entered after the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the County of Los Angeles and County employees Dave Saran and Pitt Gilmore (collectively the County defendants) on Fuller’s claims of employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation and related torts. Fuller contends the trial court erred in concluding the claim he filed with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) failed to identify any protected status or activity and thus did not satisfy the exhaustion requirements of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.). He also contends the court erred in concluding his non-FEHA tort claims against the County defendants are time-barred. Because Fuller did not properly exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to his FEHA claims and his tort claims, while timely, are without merit, we affirm.
