California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's pregnancy discrimination suit against a city, trial court's judgment in favor of plaintiff is reversed and remanded where: 1) the court's refusal to instruct the jury with the mixed-motive defense, BAJI No. 12.26, prejudiced the city; and 2) the trial court properly denied defendant's JNOV.
