2015Although the plaintiff’s statements were compelled, they were never used against him in a criminal prosecution. ( Chavez, supra, 538 U.S. at pp. 763-764.) Justice Thomas, writing for a plurality of justices, characterized the “core” Fifth Amendment privilege as 7 the right not to be a “witness” against oneself in a “criminal case.” (Chavez, at pp. 768- 769 (plur. opn. of Thomas, J.).) But a majority of justices also affirmed longstanding “prophylactic” or “complementary” protections under the Fifth Amendment that arise prior to and apart from a criminal proceeding.

2023Further, contrary to Garland Connect’s argument, the Supreme Court in Pacific Gas & Electric Co., supra, 50 Cal.3d 1118 did not hold that a plaintiff alleging a claim for interference with an at-will contract may state a claim for interference with contractual relations, as opposed to interference with prospective economic advantage.

2020In Navellier our Supreme Court rejected the argument that the anti-SLAPP statute provides “ ‘immunity’ for breach of a release or of other types of contracts affecting speech.” (Navellier, supra, 29 Cal.4th at p. 93 .) The court held that, like other claims that arise from protected conduct, a plaintiff alleging a claim for breach of a release can defeat an anti-SLAPP motion by showing that the claim is likely to succeed.

2014Disability Discrimination Claim In Green v. State of California (2007) 42 Cal.4th 254 , the California Supreme Court held that a plaintiff alleging a claim for disability discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) bears the burden to prove as an element of the claim that he or she is able to perform the essential functions of the job at issue with or without reasonable accommodation.

2014(Id. at pp. 262-263.) Thus, an employer may prevail on summary adjudication of a disability discrimination claim under FEHA if it shows “there is no triable issue of fact about [the employee’s] ability, with or without accommodation, to perform the essential 13 functions of an available vacant position that would not be a promotion.” (Nadaf- Rahrov v. Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 952, 963 .) In this case, Kraco submitted the declarations of Fernando Haro and Hector Lopez in support of its summary judgment motion, in which both men stated that they observed Romero performing

2013For example, like Title VII, the FEHA has specific “jurisdictional prerequisites that an individual must satisfy before he is entitled to institute a lawsuit.” (Gardner-Denver, supra, 415 U.S. at p. 47 .) “Under the FEHA, the employee must exhaust the administrative remedy provided by the statute by filing a complaint with the [DFEH] and must obtain from the [DFEH] a notice of right to sue in order to be entitled to file a civil action in court based on violations of the FEHA.” (Romano v. Rockwell Internat., Inc. (1996) 14 *656 Cal.4th 479, 492 [ 59 Cal.Rptr.2d 20 , 926 P.2d 1114 ].) In contra

2007(Ibid.) Similarly, in Public Interest Research Group v. Hercules, Inc. (3d Cir. 1995) 50 F.3d 1239 , the Third Circuit rejected an argument that the plaintiff alleging a violation Of the Clean Water Act ( 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.) must allege the date of each violation in the notice.
