Verceles v. Los Angeles Unified School Dist. CA2/7
APPEAL from orders and a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Lia Martin, Judge. Reversed and remanded.
Wyatt Law and Andrew M. Wyatt for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Hurrell Cantrall, Thomas C. Hurrell, Melinda Cantrall; and Anthony J. Bejarano, Assistant General Counsel, Los Angeles Unified School District, for Defendant and Respondent.
Junnie Verceles appeals the order granting the Los Angeles Unified School District’s special motion to strike his complaint for discrimination and retaliation in violation of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.). Verceles contends the trial court erred in finding his causes of action arose from protected activity within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, subdivision (e), and he had failed to establish a probability of prevailing on the merits of his claims. Verceles also appeals the court’s award of attorney fees to the District. We reverse.
