Reyes v. Ralphs Grocery CA2/5
Plaintiff Carlos Reyes (Plaintiff) sued his former employer, Ralph’s Grocery Company (RGC), and its parent company after he was fired for accruing too many points under RGC’s policies on missing work, which generally require employees to provide at least an hour’s notice if they will be absent or late. The primary thrust of Plaintiff’s lawsuit is that he was terminated not because of his noncompliance with the policies but because of his disability (asthma) and his age. The trial court granted summary judgment for RGC and its parent company (collectively, Defendants). We consider whether Plaintiff raised an issue of material fact requiring trial as to four of his causes of action: disability discrimination, age discrimination, failure to provide a reasonable accommodation, and failure to engage in the interactive process to determine a reasonable disability accommodation.
