Hoppe v. City of San Diego CA4/1
Anne Hoppe appeals a summary judgment in favor of her employer, the City of San Diego (the City), in her lawsuit alleging gender discrimination in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.) based on the promotion of male candidates instead of her to each of four open positions over a period of six years. The trial court determined that section 12960, subdivision (d) barred Hoppe's claims because Hoppe failed to file an administrative complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) within one year of each date the City failed to promote Hoppe. Hoppe asserts the trial court erred in reaching that conclusion because she filed her administrative complaint within one year of when the City announced who was promoted to the two most recent positions, and because the continuing violations doctrine applies to preserve her two earlier claims.
