About Rosemead, California

Rosemead is a city located to the east of downtown Los Angeles and is home to 60,000 residents. It covers approximately five square miles and encompasses the following zip codes: 91770, 91771, 91772, and 91776. John Guess and his wife, Harriet, arrived in the San Gabriel Valley in 1852 in an ox-drawn wagon from Arkansas. They settled in 1855 on a 100-acre ranch called Savannah on the site of what is now Savannah School. Others followed, including Frank Frost and Leonard Rose. Rose purchased 500 to 700 acres to breed and train horses and called his place Rose’s Meadow, which was shortened to Rosemead and gave the city it’s name. Small truck farms and chicken and rabbit ranches became popular and the city incorporated in 1959. The quiet, pastoral lands are now crowded with businesses, industries, and shops. Once a lush green pasture extending from the Los Angeles River east to the Pomona area, Rosemead was indeed a fine place for early settlers to raise fruits, vegetables, grain and feed. Today, the city boasts that its goals include the improvement of quality of life offered in Rosemead in a business-friendly atmosphere conducive to continued economic growth and prosperity.

Mamou v. Trendwest Resorts, Inc., 165 Cal. App. 4th 686, 81 Cal. Rptr. 3d 406 (2008)

An employee brought action against employer, alleging national origin discrimination, retaliation, and defamation. The Superior Court, Santa Clara County, No. CV053162, Kevin E. McKenney, J., granted employer’s motion for summary adjudication, and employee appealed. The Court of Appeal, Rushing, P.J., held that: 1 employee established prima facie case required to trigger presumptions of discrimination on basis of national origin and of retaliation; 2 triable issues of fact as to discriminatory animus precluded summary adjudication in favor of employer on wrongful termination claim; 3 conflicting and apparently contrived nature of evidence of employer’s asserted lawful motive for termination permitted inference that employer’s motive was unlawful; 4 statements challenged as defamatory were not non-actionable statements of opinion; 5 employer failed to establish that statements challenged as defamatory were substantially true; and 6 triable issues of fact with respect to malice precluded summary adjudication in favor of employer on basis of its claim of statutory qualified privilege. The Court’s opinion states in part as follows: “As we have noted, the presumption of an unlawful employment practice arising from the employee’s presentation of a “ ‘prima facie case’ ” affects only the burden of production, i.e., “the employer may dispel the presumption merely by articulating a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the challenged action. [Citation.] At that point the presumption disappears. [Citation.]” (Reeves, supra, 121 Cal.App.4th at pp. 111–112, 16 Cal.Rptr.3d 717.) The plaintiff then bears the burden of persuasion with respect to all elements of the cause of the action, including the existence and causal role of discriminatory or retaliatory animus. Some courts have muddied the waters by stating that once the employer cites a reason, the “ultimate issue” is whether the cited reason was a “pretext.” (Muzquiz v. City of Emeryville (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 1106, 1117, 94 Cal.Rptr.2d 579; Taub v. Fleishman–Hillard, Inc. (9th Cir.2007) 256 Fed.Appx. 170, 172; Hugley v. Art Institute of Chicago (N.D.Ill.1998) 3 F.Supp.2d 900, 906, fn. 7.) We have criticized this view before. (Reeves, supra, 121 Cal.App.4th at p. 111, fn. 11, 16 Cal.Rptr.3d 717.) While “pretext” is certainly a relevant issue in a case of this kind, making it a central or necessary issue is not sound. The central issue is and should remain whether the evidence as a whole supports a reasoned inference that the challenged action was the product of discriminatory or retaliatory animus. The employer’s mere articulation of a legitimate reason for the action cannot answer this question; it can only dispel the presumption of improper motive that would otherwise entitle the employee to a judgment in his favor. Thus, citing a legitimate reason for the challenged action will entitle the employer to summary judgment only when the employee’s showing, while sufficient to invoke the presumption, is too weak to sustain a reasoned inference in the employee’s favor. That, and not “pretext,” must be the focus of the judicial inquiry. However, evidence that the employer’s claimed reason is false—such as that it conflicts with other evidence, or appears to have been contrived after the fact—will tend to suggest that the employer seeks to conceal the real reason for its actions, and this in turn may support an inference that the real reason was unlawful. This does not mean that the factfinder can examine the employer’s stated reasons and impose liability solely because they are found wanting. But it can take account of manifest weaknesses in the cited reasons in considering whether those reasons constituted the real motive for the employer’s actions, or have instead been asserted to mask a more sinister reality.”
