Atwell v. City of Long Beach CA2/3
Plaintiff Terri Atwell resigned from her position as a public safety dispatcher with the City of Long Beach about two months before the end of her probationary period, citing a burdensome commute to and from work each day as her reason for leaving the job. Atwell then sued the City under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.) for (1) race discrimination, (2) harassment, (3) retaliation, and (4) failure to investigate protected complaints. The trial court granted summary judgment in the City’s favor, concluding Atwell did not suffer any adverse employment action and, in any event, the City did not discriminate against, or harass, Atwell on the basis of her race or retaliate against her for engaging in protected activity. On appeal, Atwell contends triable issues of fact exist as to each of her causes of action and the court erred by denying her request to continue the summary judgment hearing. We affirm.
