Favorability to Defendant: 3

Location: Oklahoma City
Comments:
The Western District has an even more conservative judiciary than the Northern District. However, the jury pool is less conservative than the Northern District. It is a transitory problem, but mediation is not effectively done in the Western District. This should improve over the next 18 months but currently mediation in the Western District is counter productive to settlement. ***** [Please call Steve Holden for further information].

CASE: 19-CV-1174-SLP, USDC Western District
Falandors Burris, Plaintiff v. MHM Support Services dba Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, Inc., Defendant
JUDGE: Scott Palk
ATTORNEYS:
For the Plaintiff: Mark Hammons and Amber Hurst, Hammons, Hurst & Associates, Oklahoma City, OK
For the Defendant: Justin Grose, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash et al, Oklahoma City, OK
ISSUES: Civil Rights Violation (Title VII – Race)
SUMMARY: Plaintiff, an African American man, worked as a patient transporter for Defendant. Plaintiff alleged that he was terminated by Defendant after a Caucasian certified nurse assistant (CNA) made a complaint of sexual harassment. The CNA alleged that Plaintiff had asked her to come with him to find a fallen patient and, when she got on an elevator with him, he put the elevator on hold and sexually harassed her. In addition, during the investigation, Defendant claimed that Plaintiff had interfered with the investigation by returning to the hospital to talk to the CNA and other witnesses after being suspended. Plaintiff denied that he had been told he could not return to the hospital during the investigation and alleged that the CNA was allowed to stay at work and contact witnesses without repercussions. Plaintiff denied that he harassed the CNA or interfered with the investigation. Plaintiff asserted that the elevator could not even be stopped without an alarm being sounded. Plaintiff argued that the investigation and his termination was biased and brought his claim for race discrimination. Defendant denied that the investigation and Plaintiff’s ultimate termination was biased. Defendant relied upon statements made by the Plaintiff that were proven to be false by way of video evidence as well as interviewing nine witnesses, several of whom were also African American, who directly contradicted Plaintiff’s story on key facts. Defendant also claimed that the Plaintiff’s interference as a basis of termination was stated on the Summary of Internal Investigation created prior to Plaintiff’s termination.
VERDICT: Jury Trial (Three Days)
The Jury found in Favor of the Defendant and Against the Plaintiff.

Arleta Watson, Plaintiff v. Vici Community Development Corp. and Cindy Arnold, Defendants
JUDGE: Stephen Friot
ATTORNEYS:
For the Plaintiff: Teressa Webster, Legal Aid, Muskogee/Tulsa, OK
For the Defendant: Lindsay Kistler, Kistler Legal Group, Oklahoma City, OK
ISSUES: Civil Rights Violation (Fair Housing Act; Rehabilitation Act; CARES Act)
SUMMARY: Plaintiff was a resident at Defendant’s sixteen-unit housing complex in Vici, OK. The apartment complex provided low-income housing to individuals who qualified for rental assistance through the US Department of Agriculture Rural Development Division’s rental assistance program. Defendant, Arnold, was the property manager. Plaintiff alleged that the Defendant’s engaged in discriminatory conduct in violation of several sections of the Oklahoma Discrimination Housing Act as well as violations of various sections of the Federal Fair Housing Act and CARES Act. Plaintiff claimed she was discriminated against because of her disability by refusing to renew her apartment lease and failing to recertify her for housing. Plaintiff also alleged that she was required to deliver her rent personally to the office while others were not required to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that she was not allowed to pay her rent later in the month after requesting an accommodation; that Defendant had refused to accept her timely tendered rent in the month following her alleged lease agreement expiration; and, that Defendant concealed that the rent obligation was $300.00 rather than the $309.00 which was being charged. Plaintiff also alleged that Defendant treated her in a retaliatory manner after she filed a complaint with HUD. Plaintiff also claimed she was retaliated against because she was a witness in another resident’s prior discrimination claim which was later dismissed. Defendants denied all the allegations of Plaintiff. Defendants alleged that Plaintiff was not handicapped or disabled within the meaning of the FHA or ODHA and that she had repeatedly failed to timely pay her rent in the correct amount along with other violations of her lease agreement. Defendants alleged that they had accommodated her request to pay rent later in the month, but that Defendant did not comply with the agreement. Defendant asserted that they had legitimate, non-discriminatory and non-retaliatory reasons for the actions taken relating to Plaintiff.
