City of Marina v. County of Monterey

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that a reasonable jury could conclude that persistent references to females as “bitches,” “prostitutes” and other explicit remarks qualified as sufficiently severe
• recognizing “that a hostile work environment claim can be bolstered by relying on evidence of a workplace tainted by both sex and racial discrimination”
• finding that denigrating the female victims of domestic violence was part of a hostile work environment
• finding no viable hostile work environment claim where “another recruit did openly disparage Mexicans, [but] his repugnant remarks were made only two times in five months”
• finding gender- based language, songs, and comments to be sufficiently severe
• finding sufficient evidence of sexual harassment to support hostile work environment claim, but holding that single racist comment by a fellow recruit, and two racially disparaging comments by another recruit during a period of five months, was insufficient to avoid summary judgment
