About Fountain Valley, California

Fountain Valley is a city located in Orange County. It is home to more than 57,000 residents. It covers approximately nine square miles and encompasses the following zip codes: 92708, and 92728. Through the years, Fountain Valley, like California, has had a rich and colorful history under the control of Spain, Mexico, and after the Mexican War. In the early settlement of Fountain Valley, this area was inundated by swamps. From 1880’s to the early 1900’s the area of Fountain Valley and adjoining communities was called “Gospel Swamps” by the residents. The name “Fountain Valley” originated from the many artesian wells and the great supply of water. Through the efforts of the early settlers up through the 1890’s, drainage canals were constructed to drain the land to make it usable. Early pioneers grew field crops which included sugar beets, beans, barley and wheat. Cattle grazed on portions of land not being used for growing crops. Primarily, Fountain Valley remained a field crop area, producing beans and sugar beets, until the middle 1930’s when some large land owners began to sell off portions of land. From 1930 until the present time the agricultural emphasis has been on truck crops, such as strawberries, cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, corn, beans, lettuce carrots, spinach, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, parsley, peas, and squash. The City of Fountain Valley was incorporated in 1957 as the 21 city in the County of Orange. Since its incorporation, Fountain Valley has established itself both locally and nationally as a forward-looking community dedicated to improving the quality of life for its citizens. The fantastic growth rate which Fountain Valley experienced in the 1960s, which could easily have wreaked havoc with the planning of most cities, took place within the framework of a Master Plan adopted before any developments had began. Unlike many communities, Fountain Valley’s Master Plan did not have to play “catch up” with existing developments. It is for this reason Fountain Valley has often been referred to as Orange County’s best-planned community. With offices in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside the Akopyan Law Firm A.P.C. is just minutes away from Fountain Valley.

Featured Employment Case

Pantoja v. Anton, 198 Cal. App. 4th 87, 92–93, 129 Cal. Rptr. 3d 384, 388–89 (2011)

In this employment discrimination case, the Court of Appeal was asked to decide whether the trial court erred in not allowing the jury to hear “me too” evidence, that is, evidence of the employer’s alleged gender bias in the form of harassing activity against women employees other than the plaintiff. At trial, the “me too” evidence related to harassing activity that occurred outside the plaintiff’s presence and at times other than when plaintiff was employed. At issue was whether the court properly excluded this evidence as propensity or character evidence under Evidence Code section 1101, subdivision (a), or whether it should have been admitted as evidence of a discriminatory or biased intent or motive under Evidence Code section 1101, subdivision (b). The appellate court concluded that the evidence should have been admitted and the failure to do so was prejudicial. Consequently, the judgment entered upon the jury’s defense verdict was reversed. In doing so, the Court of Appeal fully recognized and agreed that the FEHA is not a civility code and is “not designed to rid the workplace of vulgarity.” Attempting to impose a civility code, human nature being what it is, would be an exercise in futility. The plaintiff’s evidence in the Pantoja case, however, if believed, would be more than “vulgarity” in the workplace. Another issue was whether the court correctly instructed the jury with language from the Supreme Court’s opinion in Lyle, supra, 38 Cal.4th at page 278, 42 Cal.Rptr.3d 2, 132 P.3d 211. The Court of Appeal concluded that the instruction given was a correct statement of the law. In the context of this case, however, giving it without other clarifying instructions that are also consistent with the principles and teaching of Lyle was error. In addition, the Court of Appeal concluded that, by granting defendants’ motion in limine to exclude evidence of plaintiff’s supervisor’s use of the word “Mexicans,” and rejecting proffers of similar evidence during trial, the court in effect improperly granted relief equivalent to summary adjudication against plaintiff’s claim alleging racial discrimination. Finally, the Court of Appeal concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded evidence offered to rehabilitate one of plaintiff’s witnesses after defendants impeached that witness.
