Padron v. Moreno CA5
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Parlier Unified School District (Board) in which special education issues were being considered, plaintiff Alfonso Padron disclosed during the time for public comment that one of the Board members, defendant Stephanie Moreno, has a young child with a disability. Moreno felt that her child’s privacy had been unfairly invaded by plaintiff, and at a subsequent Board meeting she responded by criticizing plaintiff’s public disclosure of her child’s disability. She reiterated her criticisms of plaintiff in a Facebook post. The superintendent, defendant Edward Lucero, replied to Moreno’s Facebook post by opining that plaintiff had behaved like a bully. Plaintiff’s reaction was to file the present lawsuit against Moreno, Lucero and Board member Edgar Pelayo (together, defendants), alleging defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violations of statute.
