Morris v. City of Los Angeles CA2/1
Cheryl Morris appeals from the trial court’s judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) on her employment discrimination claim against the City of Los Angeles (the City). The trial court concluded that Morris had failed to present substantial evidence supporting the jury’s finding that the City denied Morris a promotion because of her gender, rather than, as the City contends, because of her comparatively low ratings in the application process. Morris points to evidence reflecting a disparity in the way the City rated Morris as an applicant and the way it rated the successful male applicants, arguing such disparity reveals the ratings to be pretextual. Morris contends that this evidence of pretext, particularly when combined with other evidence suggesting a gender bias on the part of one of the reviewers, constitutes sufficient evidence of intentional discrimination to support the jury’s verdict.
