Ng v. Jacobs Engineering Group
Court held that an employer did not violate state law by terminating an employee who, in disobedience to company policy and specific admonitions not to do so, persisted in using company equipment and facilities for religious proselytizing. Plaintiff appeals from an adverse judgment entered after the trial court granted summary judgment to defendant in this employment discrimination action. Appellant argues there are triable issues of material fact precluding summary judgment on her cause of action for religious discrimination based on defendant’s failure to accommodate her religious beliefs and practices. Appellant also claims there are triable issues of material fact as to defendant’s failure to prevent discrimination and as to defenses raised by defendant. Based on these arguments for reversal of the judgment, plaintiff contends the award of costs also must be reversed.
Court concluded that plaintiff is not entitled to the accommodation she claimed. Plaintiff has abandoned her other causes of action by failing to present argument on them in her opening brief. Court affirmed the judgment.
