Active Hearing Agenda & Presiding Deadlines
Legal Strategy & Burden of Proof Summary
Prima facie case relies on verified disparity rates in Fremont factory promotions coupled with pervasive racial harassment complaints. Defendant bears the burden of proving job-related business necessity, which plaintiffs will rebut with evidence of less restrictive alternatives and pretext.
EEOC & FEHA Disparate Impact
Under the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (29 CFR § 1607.4D), a selection rate for any race or protected group that is less than 80% (4/5ths) of the highest rate creates prima facie evidence of adverse impact. Statistical significance is confirmed when Z-score disparity exceeds 2 to 3 standard deviations.
Winter 4-Factor Injunction Test
Under Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council (555 U.S. 7), plaintiffs seeking preliminary relief or TROs against administrative actions must establish likelihood of success on the merits, likely irreparable harm in the absence of relief, a balance of equities tipping in their favor, and alignment with the public interest.
FRCP & State Court Deadlines
Trial dockets enforce strict pretrial motion deadlines, motions in limine, jury instruction exchanges, and expedited preliminary hearing timelines under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 or California Code of Civil Procedure § 527.
