Petition for Peremptory Writ of Mandate: Restoring a Struck Judicial Challenge

Uzuegbu (Brian King Joseph) v. Superior Court of California, County of Los AngelesFiled; pending before the Court of Appeal

Our client filed his one automatic challenge to the assigned judge the day his refiled case reached that judge. The trial court struck it the same day, on its own motion, before the other side was even served, by treating a separately filed lawsuit as a continuation of a case he had voluntarily dismissed. This petition asks the Court of Appeal to stay the case and restore the challenge, because a stricken peremptory challenge can be reviewed only by writ.

Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment — Whistleblower Retaliation After a Child Abuse Report

Yousefzadeh v. Temple Akiba of Culver CityMotion for summary judgment denied

A preschool teacher’s assistant of 20 years reported that a colleague was emotionally abusing children. Within weeks the school produced a file of write-ups against her, three carrying signatures a forensic expert found were likely forged, and terminated her. This brief opposed the school’s motion for summary judgment on the untimeliness of the motion, the inapplicability of the religious-organization exemption, the disputed reason for the termination, direct evidence of national origin and age discrimination, and the school’s failure to produce the original electronic files.
