Bazargan v. HiltonUniversalCity & Towers
Homayoun Bazargan appeals from the dismissal of his claims against David N. Glaser, M.D., a psychiatrist, for invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. Plaintiff worked as a waiter for defendant Hilton Universal City and Towers (Hilton), and Dr. Glaser interviewed plaintiff in connection with plaintiff's claim against Hilton for discrimination and sexual harassment. The trial court sustained Dr. Glaser's demurrer to plaintiff's claim for invasion of privacy, and entered summary judgment on his claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. On appeal, plaintiff argues that (1) his privacy was violated by the coerced psychological exam; (2) the trial court erred in striking his motion for punitive damages; (3) factual issues exist with respect to his claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress; (4) Dr. Glaser owed him a duty of care even though Dr. Glaser was not plaintiff's treating physician, and his expert's declaration on the standard of care was insufficient; and (5) additional discovery belatedly produced by co defendant Hilton after judgment established the wrongful nature of the psychological examination. Court affirm.
