Uhm v. Direct Chassislink, Inc. CA2/5
Plaintiff and appellant Sandy Sung Uhm appeals from a summary judgment in favor of defendants and respondents Amy Hume and Direct Chassislink Inc. (DCI) in this action for disability discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). On appeal, Uhm contends triable issues of fact exist as to whether: (1) DCI’s reasons for terminating her employment were pretextual; (2) DCI was required to, and failed to, engage in a good faith interactive process to accommodate her disability; and (3) DCI failed to prevent harassment and discrimination on the basis of Uhm’s gender. We conclude that DCI submitted evidence of legitimate nondiscriminatory reasons for terminating Uhm’s employment. In response, Uhm failed to raise a triable issue of fact that the reasons were a pretext for discrimination on the basis of disability.
