THE NATURE OF THE CASE

This action arises out of Plaintiff's employment as a Preserve Manager for camping grounds

operated by Defendants. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants discriminated and failed to accommodate

him on the basis of his chronic medical condition and/or physical disability. Plaintiff claims he

suffers from an “atrial flutter.” In late May of 2005, Plaintiff claims he began experiencing heart and

chest pain. Plaintiff visited a cardiologist on or about June 15, 2005 who informed him he needed

immediate medical testing and must take a leave of absence from work. Plaintiff alleges he sent the

doctor’s note to his employer and spoke to an individual in the Human Resources department of

Defendants. Plaintiff claims he was told he had 200 hours of accrued sick time. Plaintiff was away

from work for two weeks. Plaintiff contends that when he returned, ready, willing and able to work

on July 14, 2005, he was terminated the same day. 

Plaintiff's complaint sets forth the following causes of action:

a. Discrimination Based on Disability in Violation of FEHA;

b. Failure to Accommodate Disability in Violation of FEHA;

c. Failure to Interact in Good Faith Process in Violation of FEHA;

d. Failure to take Reasonable Steps to Prevent Discrimination in Violation of

FEHA;

e. Failure to Take Appropriate Corrective Action in Violation of FEHA;

f. Wrongful Termination in Violation of Public Policy; and

g. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
