Dadah v. Mount San Jacinto Community College Dist.
This action arises from Mount San Jacinto Community College District (the District) terminating Dr. Temma K. Dadah’s employment because Dr. Dadah used her District-issued credit card to gamble at local casinos during work hours and lied about it. Dr. Dadah appeals judgment entered following the trial court granting the District’s motion for summary judgment and denying Dr. Dadah’s cross-motion for summary adjudication. Dr. Dadah contends triable issues of fact exist as to whether there was good cause for terminating her employment under Labor Code section 2924.[1] Dr. Dadah also argues there is a triable issue as to whether the District terminated her based on her psychological disability, without reasonably accommodating her disability. In addition, Dr. Dadah argues a triable issue exists as to whether the District intentionally inflicted emotional distress on Dr. Dadah.
We conclude it is undisputed that the District had good cause to terminate Dr. Dadah and her termination was not based on any psychological disability. We also conclude Dr. Dadah failed to present any evidence the District failed to provide a reasonable accommodation for her psychological disability. In addition, Dr. Dadah failed to present any evidence supporting her fourth cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress.[2] Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
