John Rubiner and Tyler Jacobs from FMG’s Los Angeles office won summary judgment on behalf of California State University at Northridge in Los Angeles County Superior Court in an employment case involving claims by a former employee . After the plaintiff’s temporary employment ended while he was on paternity leave, he sued, demanding several hundred thousand dollars in damages, and alleged a variety of claims for associational discrimination (related to his wife’s pregnancy), retaliation, and wrongful termination. In granting summary judgment, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish any of his claims and failed to show that his wife’s pregnancy played a role in the ending of his employment.
