California Court of Appeal


Higgins-Williams v. Sutter Medical Foundation, C073677

In an action for disability discrimination and wrongful termination, summary judgment in favor of the defendant employer is affirmed because the plaintiff employee's alleged disability -- an inability to work under a particular supervisor because of anxiety and stress related to the supervisor's standard oversight of job performance -- is not a disability recognized in California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) Gov. Code section 12900 et seq.
