EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff alleges Defendants fired him in retaliation for complaining about sexual harassment 

suffered by another employee and complaining that the other employee’s firing was unlawful. 

At the pretrial conference, Defendants noted their difficulty in obtaining accurate and complete 

pay records for Plaintiff after he left their employ. (Doc. 49 at 18) The Court granted Defendants’

request to subpoena records from subsequent employers for this purpose. Id. at 18-19.
