dfeh claim in California

2025As stated by the trial court, “[a] reader comes away from review of [Jaimes’] DFEH claim not knowing what it is that [the City] did that is alleged to have been discriminatory.” Relying on Wills, supra, 195 Cal.App.4th 143 , Jaimes urges that “checking the right box on the [DFEH] intake [form]” is sufficient to meet the administrative exhaustion requirement.

2025The question on this appeal is whether he can maintain his retaliation claim in spite of his failure to enumerate that claim in his charge before the DFEH.” (Id. at p. 1613.) The Okoli court concluded “the unlawful retaliation, which occurred after the filing of the DFEH charge, would not reasonably have been uncovered in an investigation of the charges that were made.” (Id. at p. 1617.) In sum, “Since Okoli’s complaint added claims that were neither like nor reasonably related to his DFEH claim and were not likely to be uncovered in the course of a DFEH investigation, his retaliation claim is

Similarly, in Martin, the plaintiff’s “theories of recovery other than age discrimination were vitiated by her failure to exhaust administrative remedies under California law.” (Martin, supra, 29 Cal.App.4th at p. 1723 .) The DFEH “never did learn of Martin’s assertion

( Regents , supra , at p. 1717, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 919 .) Accordingly, under the reasoning of Ricks , the statute of limitations for filing her DFEH complaint ran from the date she was told she would
