Case: Discrimination/Sex Discrimination (C.D. Cal.)

A California federal district court granted a motion to remand the case to state court to a male employee who brought claims under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act for sex/gender discrimination, pregnancy-based associational discrimination, retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress against Trane U.S. Inc. and his supervisor after he was allegedly terminated for requesting paternity leave, finding that defendants failed to establish fraudulent joinder of the non-diverse supervisor defendant, and thus complete diversity was lacking for federal jurisdiction.
