Spencer v. Dept. Water Resources
In this action for employment discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), plaintiff Jackie Spencer appeals from the judgment entered in favor of defendant, Department of Water Resources (DWR). She contends the trial court erred in granting DWRs motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground she had failed to exhaust her administrative and judicial remedies. She also asserts that to the extent the court granted the motion based on her failure to file any opposition to the motion, her attorneys failure to do so was excusable neglect and, therefore, the court abused its discretion in denying her subsequent motion to vacate the judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., 473 (further section references are to the Code of Civil Procedure unless otherwise specified).) Court affirm the judgment.
