In Malais v. Los Angeles City Fire Dep’t, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the grant of summary judgment in favor of the Los Angeles Fire Department on claims for disability discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) and adverse employment action in violation of public policy. The court held that the Department did not subject plaintiff Gregory Malais to an adverse employment action as a matter of law.
