California Court of Appeal
Simers v. Los Angeles Times Communications, LLC, 269565
Affirming trial court orders granting judgment notwithstanding the verdict in the case of a longtime sports reporter whose writing allegedly suffered following a mini-stroke as to his constructive termination claim, finding substantial evidence supported age and disability discrimination claims because the company's actions following the writer's stroke were not, alone or in combination, an unusually aggravated or continuous pattern of mistreatment, and granting a new trial as to damages because it was impossible to separate the amounts from the individual charges.
