Krista Stoumbos (Of Counsel-San Francisco, CA) successfully defended a global logistics company against the plaintiff's claim alleging discrimination under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Code Civ. P. section 51.5, when a delivery driver directed a racial slur at the plaintiff. Krista argued the plaintiff failed to allege he was deprived of "full and equal accommodation, advantages, facilities, privileges or services" as the statute requires. Judge Haywood Gilliam of the Northern District of California agreed the omission was fatal and granted the motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. (12)(b)(6).
