I. INTRODUCTION
13
Pending before the Court is Sysco San Francisco Inc.’s (Defendant) Motion for Summary
14
15 Judgment. Dkt. No. 21. Diwan Williams (Plaintiff) has filed an Opposition, to which Defendant
16 filed a Reply. Dkt. Nos. 31 and 34. Having reviewed and considered the papers submitted by the
17 parties, the Court DENIES Defendant’s Motion in its entirety for the reasons explained below.
II. BACKGROUND
18
19 A.
Procedural Background
20
Plaintiff initiated this lawsuit by filing a Complaint against Defendant, his former employer,
21 on August 24, 2010.1 Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff alleged that Defendant discriminated against him and
22 ultimately terminated his employment due to his military service. Id. The Complaint specifically
23 asserted the following claims against Defendant: (1) discrimination in violation of the Uniform
24 Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), 42 U.S.C. § 4301 et seq.; (2)
25 discrimination in violation of California Military & Veterans Code § 394 et seq.; (3) wrongful

Plaintiff’s Complaint also asserted a claim for breach of statutory duty of fair
representation against his Union, Teamsters Local 853. Dkt. No. 1. But on May 6, 2011, Plaintiff
dismissed the Union with prejudice from this action after the two parties reached a settlement. Dkt.
No. 17.
1 termination in violation of public policy; and (4) breach of contract. Id. On June 30, 2011,

Factual Background
4
Plaintiff began working for Defendant in 2006 as a warehouse order selector. Dkt. No. 28,
5 Joint Statement of Undisputed Facts (JSF) ¶ 8. Throughout his employment, he worked the night
6 shift from Sundays through Thursdays. JSF ¶ 9. In 2008, Plaintiff enlisted in the Army National
7 Guard and informed Defendant’s Human Resources Director, Judith La Frentz, about his enlistment.
8 JSF ¶¶ 16, 17. Defendant’s only written policy about military leaves of absence was contained in its
9 employee handbook and provided that “[a]ll provisions under the [USERRA] will be followed.” JSF
10 ¶ 13. Even though Defendant preferred that employees provide notification of military leave in
12 advance notice pursuant to USERRA. JSF ¶¶ 14, 26.
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 writing, it allowed employees to take military leave without written notice, as long as there was
13
Pursuant to company policy, Plaintiff notified La Frentz that he was taking an extended
14 military leave from September 9, 2008, through April 14, 2009. JSF ¶ 18. Plaintiff’s request was
15 granted, and he provided La Frentz with documents that confirmed he was scheduled for military
16 leave for that period. JSF ¶¶ 18, 19. Plaintiff returned from military leave earlier than expected in
17 March 2009 and his employment was reinstated. JSF ¶ 21. At that time, Plaintiff was provided with
18 a copy of Defendant’s new attendance policy, including the call-in procedures for absences. JSF ¶¶
19 22, 25.
20
Defendant’s new attendance policy defined a “No Call, No Show” as a failure to work a
21 scheduled shift without properly notifying Defendant. JSF ¶ 23. An employee that received a “No
22 Call, No Show” would be assessed three points for each violation. JSF ¶ 23. Under the policy,
23 Defendant would take appropriate disciplinary steps based on the points accumulated by an
24 employee. JSF ¶ 23. Specifically, during a 12-month period, two or more points would result in a
25 written verbal warning, six or more points in a second written warning, eight or more points in a final

Both parties do not address the status of Plaintiff’s last claim for breach of contract, which
was specifically alleged in the Complaint against Defendant and not the Union. Dkt. No. 1.

1 warning, and ten or more points in termination. JSF ¶ 23. Defendant would not issue any attendance
2 points if it had written verification for a leave of absence. JSF ¶ 24.
3
After his return to work, Plaintiff continued to participate in periodic military training
4 exercises. JSF ¶ 21. During a meeting in April 2009, La Frentz instructed Plaintiff to give advance
5 notice of any military leave and asked him to provide written confirmation of his military training
6 dates. JSF ¶ 26. Based on the 2010 dates provided by Plaintiff’s military supervisors, he was granted
7 military leave from January 7 to 10, February 19 to 21, and March 4 to 7. JSF ¶ 31. As of March
8 2010, Plaintiff was on notice that he had accumulated four points under Defendant’s attendance
9 policy and that ten points would result in termination. JSF ¶ 34.
10
Plaintiff’s military training from March 4 to 7 was cancelled. JSF ¶ 44. Plaintiff did not
12 this lawsuit. JSF ¶ 45. Plaintiff worked his entire shift on Thursday, March 4, but he did not show up
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 inform Defendant about this cancellation, and Defendant learned about it for the first time through
13 to work on Sunday, March 7. JSF ¶¶ 39, 40. Plaintiff also did not call in to explain his absence. JSF
14 ¶ 43. Because Plaintiff’s absence on March 7 was coded as military leave pursuant to the notice he
15 had provided earlier, Defendant did not take any action at that time. JSF ¶ 41.
16
On March 7, plaintiff received an e-mail from his Sergeant that there would be a training
17 exercise on March 11 to 14.3 JSF ¶ 48. At work the next day, Plaintiff spoke to his supervisor,
18 Michael Klag, who did not have authority to grant military leaves of absence. JSF ¶¶ 49, 76.
19 Plaintiff claims that during this meeting he informed Klag that he would be out on military leave on
20 March 11 and 14. Dkt. No. 32, Pl. Decl. ¶ 27. Klag denies this and asserts that in their meeting
21 Plaintiff only requested to use a floater holiday for March 10, which he approved without asking why
22 Plaintiff needed it. JSF ¶¶ 49, 50. Plaintiff never contacted the Human Resources Department
23 regarding his need to take an additional military leave and never provided any written verification
24 about the upcoming military training. JSF ¶ 60.
25
26
27
28
3
The parties have agreed to this fact, but it appears that Plaintiff actually knew about the
March 11 to 14 training on February 16, when his Sergeant explicitly informed him by e-mail that
the March 4 to 7 training was postponed until the following weekend. See Pl. Decl. ¶ 23.
3
1
Plaintiff was not at work on March 11 and 14, and he did not call in for both absences. JSF ¶¶
2 52, 59. On March 14, Klag e-mailed La Frentz about Plaintiff’s absences and asked if she had any
3 further information. JSF ¶ 53. Plaintiff returned to work on March 15. JSF ¶ 54. When asked by
4 Klag about his absences, he replied that he was at military training. JSF ¶ 55. Klag did not pass on
5 this information to La Frentz or the Human Resources Department. JSF ¶ 66. Under Defendant’s
6 attendance policy, Plaintiff was assessed six points for his two absences which resulted in him having
7 ten total points. JSF ¶ 64. On March 16, Defendant, without Klag’s involvement, suspended Plaintiff
8 with the intent to terminate him. JSF ¶¶ 61, 66. Plaintiff claims that when Sheri Sanchez,
9 Defendant’s Warehouse Director, gave him the suspension letter, he notified her that he was at
10 military training on March 11 and 14, which she disputes. Pl. Decl. ¶ 30. Six days later, Defendant
12
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 officially terminated Plaintiff’s employment. JSF ¶ 69.
Plaintiff filed a grievance regarding his termination with his Union, Teamsters Local 853.
13 JSF ¶ 70. On March 26, a grievance hearing was held. JSF ¶ 70. At the hearing, La Frentz and Jeff
14 Szostak, Defendant’s Vice President of Operations, learned for the first time that Plaintiff was
15 claiming to have been at military training on March 11 and 14. JSF ¶ 71. Plaintiff, however, did not
16 present any documentation to verify that he was on military leave. JSF ¶ 70. On April 7, Plaintiff
17 received a copy of the military order that showed that he was at a training exercise from March 11 to
18 14. JSF ¶ 73. Plaintiff claims that his Union Representative produced this document to Defendant at
19 a Board of Adjustments meeting on April 9. Pl. Decl. ¶ 32. An arbitration regarding Plaintiff’s
20 termination was held on May 18. JSF ¶ 74. At the arbitration, Plaintiff again did not present any
21 documentation to prove that he was at a military training on March 11 and 14. JSF ¶ 74. The
22 Arbitrator upheld Plaintiff’s termination as a “just cause” termination. JSF ¶ 78. This lawsuit
23 followed.

III. LEGAL STANDARD FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Summary judgment is appropriate only when there is no genuine dispute of material fact, and
26 the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. The moving party
27 bears both the initial burden of production as well as the ultimate burden of persuasion to
28
4
1 demonstrate that no genuine dispute of material fact remains. Nissan Fire & Marine Ins. Co., Ltd. v.
2 Fritz Cos., Inc., 210 F.3d 1099, 1102 (9th Cir. 2000). Once the moving party meets its initial burden,
3 the nonmoving party is required “to go beyond the pleadings and by [its] own affidavits, or by the
4 depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, designate specific facts showing that
5 there is a genuine issue for trial.” Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 324 (1986) (internal
6 quotations and citations omitted). On summary judgment, courts are required to view the evidence in
7 the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio
8 Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986). If a reasonable jury could return a verdict in favor of the
9 nonmoving party, summary judgment is inappropriate. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S.
10 242, 248 (1986).

IV. DISCUSSION
In its Reply, Defendant argues that the only issue for the Court to consider on this Motion is
13 whether it is liable for discrimination under USERRA because Plaintiff’s military status was a
14 motivating factor in his termination. Dkt. 34 at 2 (“To decide this motion, the Court need only
15 consider whether Williams’ termination for violating Defendant’s attendance policy was motivated
16 by animus towards Williams’ military status). The Court agrees with Defendant and this is the only
17 issue addressed in the Order.4
18
USERRA “prohibits discrimination against persons because of their service in the uniformed
19 services.” Leisek v. Brightwood Corp., 278 F.3d 895, 898 (9th Cir. 2002). A violation of USERRA
20 occurs when a person’s:
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
4
Plaintiff’s California Military and Veterans Code § 394 claim is analyzed under the same
legal standard as the USERRA claim. See Flores v. Von Kleist, 739 F.Supp.2d 1236, 1257-58 (E.D.
Cal. 2010) (“However, it appears that claims brought under California Military and Veterans Code
section 394 are analyzed under the framework applicable to claims brought under [USERRA]”)
(citing Tarin v. Los Angeles, 123 F.3d 1259, 1266 (9th Cir. 1997)). Thus, the Court, similar to the
parties, does not discuss the state law claim. Defendant moves to dismiss Plaintiff’s third claim for
wrongful termination in violation of public policy solely on the grounds that Plaintiff’s first two
claims, which are the predicate for the wrongful termination claim, cannot withstand summary
judgment. Because the Court does not grant summary judgment on Plaintiff’s underlying claims,
Defendant’s Motion on the third claim is also denied.

membership, application for membership, service, application for service, or
obligation for service in the uniformed services is a motivating factor in the
employer’s action, unless the employer can prove that the action would have been
taken in the absence of such membership, application for membership, service,
application for service, or obligation for service . . . .
4 38 U.S.C. § 4311(c); see Leisek, 278 F.3d at 898. The Ninth Circuit has instructed that courts
5 analyzing USERRA claims should use the scheme of burden of proof allocations approved by the
6 Supreme Court in NLRB v. Transportation Management Corp., 462 U.S. 393, 401 (1983). Leisek,
7 278 F.3d at 898-99. The Ninth Circuit explained as follows:
8
9
10
Under the scheme set forth in Transportation Management, the employee first has the
burden of showing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that his or her protected status
was “a substantial or motivating factor in the adverse [employment] action;” the
employer may then avoid liability only by showing, as an affirmative defense, that the
employer would have taken the same action without regard to the employee’s
protected status.
12 Id. (citations omitted). Under USERRA, the employer’s discriminatory motivation:
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11
13
14
15
may be reasonably inferred from a variety of factors, including proximity in time
between the employee’s military activity and the adverse employment action,
inconsistencies between proffered reason and other actions of the employer, an
employer’s expressed hostility towards members protected by the statute together with
knowledge of the employee’s military activity, and disparate treatment of certain
employees compared to other employees with similar work records or offenses.
16
17 Leisek, 278 F.3d at 900 (quoting Sheehan v. Dep’t of the Navy, 240 F.3d 1009, 1014 (Fed. Cir.
18 2001)). “[M]ilitary status is a motivating factor if the defendant relied on, took into account,
19 considered, or conditioned its decision on that consideration.” Coffman v. Chugach Support Servs.,
20 411 F.3d 1231, 1238 (11th Cir. 2005). “The court may consider ‘all record evidence,’ including the
21 employer’s ‘explanation for the actions taken.’” Leisek, 278 F.3d at 900 (quoting Sheehan, 240 F.3d
22 at 1014).
23
In arguing that Plaintiff’s military duty was not a factor in his termination, Defendant first
24 takes the position that Plaintiff was fired solely because he had accumulated ten points under its
25 attendance policy. According to Defendant, because this has no relation to Plaintiff’s military status,
26 it cannot be liable under USERRA. This argument is misplaced. “An employer cannot escape
27 liability under USERRA by claiming that it was merely discriminating against an employee on the
28
6
1 basis of his absence when that absence was for military service.” Erickson v. U.S. Postal Serv., 571
2 F.3d 1364, 1368 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (“To permit an employer to fire an employee because of his military
3 absence would eviscerate the protections afforded by USERRA . . .”). In other words, because
4 Plaintiff’s military absences caused him to be in violation of Defendant’s attendance policy and
5 directly resulted in his termination, Defendant cannot shift the blame for Plaintiff’s termination to
6 only the attendance policy.
7
Nonetheless, Plaintiff must still establish that there is a genuine dispute as to whether his
8 military service was a motivating factor in his termination. Defendant argues that it could not have
9 been since none of its “decision makers” knew that Plaintiff was claiming he was at military training
10 on March 11 and 14 before he was fired. But this is not the case. Viewing the evidence in a light
12 suspended him on March 16 that his two absences stemmed from him attending military training. See
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 most favorable to Plaintiff, the Court must consider that Plaintiff specifically told Sanchez when she
13 Pl. Decl. ¶ 30. Defendant admits that Sanchez, along with La Frentz and Szostak, was involved in
14 the decision to terminate Plaintiff. JSF ¶ 66. This means that Sanchez knew that Plaintiff claimed
15 that he was on military leave when Defendant officially terminated his employment on March 22.
16 See JSF ¶ 69. While Sanchez disputes Plaintiff’s version of their meeting, this is an issue of fact that
17 the Court cannot evaluate at the summary judgment stage. See T.W. Elec. Serv. v. Pacific Elec.
18 Contractors Ass’n, 809 F.2d 626, 630-31 (9th Cir. 1987) (“Thus, at this stage of the litigation, the
19 judge does not weigh conflicting evidence with respect to a disputed material fact. Nor does the
20 judge make credibility determinations with respect to statements made in affidavits, answers to
21 interrogatories, admissions, or depositions”) (internal citations omitted)).
22
Defendant disingenuously argues in its Reply that this disputed fact is not material because
23 both Plaintiff and Sanchez agree that she did not know about his military training before the
24 suspension letter was issued on March 16. Dkt. No. 34 at 7. As highlighted above, this argument
25 ignores the elephant in the room that Sanchez allegedly knew about Plaintiff’s “military excuse” from
26 March 16 until he was officially terminated on March 22, but she did not do anything about it. See
27 Dkt. No. 23, La Frentz Decl. ¶ 41 (“On March 22, 2010, I sent Diwan Williams a termination letter. .
28
7
1 . . Prior to making the decision to terminate Mr. Williams for violation of the attendance policy, I
2 conferred with Sheri Sanchez and Jeff Szostak”). This material fact may lead a reasonable juror to
3 conclude that Defendant had some animus towards Plaintiff and it may have been due to his military
4 status. See Leisek, 278 F.3d at 900 (noting that discrimination may be inferred from a variety of
5 factors, including inconsistencies between the proffered reason and other actions of the employer).
6
Other factual issues may also permit a reasonable juror to infer that Plaintiff’s termination
7 stemmed from his military status. For instance, Plaintiff claims that he told his supervisor on March
8 8 that he would be absent on March 11 and 14 due to military training. Pl. Decl. ¶ 27. Even though
9 Klag denies this, and Defendant points to his March 14 e-mail as contemporaneous evidence that he
10 had no idea why Plaintiff was absent, this factual dispute, if resolved in favor of Plaintiff, may lead a
12 have been a motivating factor in Plaintiff’s termination. In the same manner, Defendant’s decision
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 reasonable juror to conclude that something other than the absences, such as discrimination, may
13 not to consult with Klag — who, as Plaintiff’s direct supervisor, explicitly knew on March 15 that
14 Plaintiff’s absences were due to military training — before terminating Plaintiff’s employment may
15 lead to the inference that Defendant purposefully chose not to fully investigate the circumstances
16 behind Plaintiff’s absences. See JSF ¶ 55.
17
Defendant concedes that Plaintiff was not required to provide advanced written notice of his
18 military leave. JSF ¶ 14. It argues that summary judgment is still appropriate because Plaintiff
19 “failed to provide verification of his service until long after he commenced litigation.” Dkt. No. 21 at
20 18. Notably, while Plaintiff was verbally instructed at one point by La Frentz that he needed to
21 provide such verification (JSF ¶ 26), this was not the usual policy for Defendant. See Dkt. No. 22,
22 Ex. C, Szostak Depo. at 99 (confirming that as a general rule Defendant does not require written
23 documentation to be provided for military leave). Moreover, Plaintiff claims that Defendant was
24 provided with written verification of his military absences at a Board of Adjustments meeting on
25 April 9. Pl. Decl. ¶ 32. Defendant’s denial of this claim only raises another factual issue for a juror.
26
Based on the above disputed facts, Plaintiff has shown that there is a triable issue about
27 whether his military status was a motivating factor in his termination. Much of Defendant’s
28
8
1 argument and evidence points to the fact that Plaintiff is not credible, particularly because his story is
2 so far-fetched. A more rationale explanation as to what transpired, from Defendant’s perspective, is
3 that Plaintiff never provided notice about his leave, as he had a practice of doing in the past, and that
4 he did not want to provide any written verification afterwards because Defendant would then discover
5 that he had an unexcused absence on March 7 when his military training was cancelled. But
6 Defendant will have the opportunity to present this argument and evidence to the jury, which can
7 properly evaluate the credibility of all witnesses and weigh the conflicting evidence — something
8 that this Court cannot do — to determine the motivating factor behind Plaintiff’s termination.
9
Defendant’s last resort is to argue that it would have terminated Plaintiff’s employment
10 regardless of his military status due to its attendance policy, a lack of written verification for his
12 persuasive. With respect to after-acquired evidence, Defendant argues that it would have fired
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 absences, and after-acquired evidence. As explained above, the first two arguments are not
13 Plaintiff after it learned in discovery that he had an unexcused absence on March 7 since his military
14 training was cancelled, something that Plaintiff never reported to Defendant. But, as the parties
15 agree, this after-acquired evidence would only limit the amount of damages that Plaintiff could
16 recover and would not dismiss his claim. See McKennon v. Nashville Banner Pub. Co., 513 U.S. 352
17 (1995). Because Defendant’s Motion, and consequently Plaintiff’s Opposition, do not specifically
18 address the issue of how Plaintiff’s damages should be limited (e.g., when Defendant specifically
19 discovered Plaintiff’s unethical conduct), the Court declines to rule on the issue. See id. at 362 (“The
20 beginning point in the trial court’s formulation of a remedy should be calculation of backpay from the
21 date of the unlawful discharge to the date the new information was discovered. In determining the
22 appropriate order for relief, the court can consider taking into further account extraordinary equitable
23 circumstances that affect the legitimate interests of either party”).
24
Finally, the Court considers Defendant’s objections to the evidence submitted by Plaintiff in
25 support of his Opposition. See Dkt. No. 35. In ruling against Defendant, the Court only relies on
26 three facts outside of the JSF and each of these are contained in Plaintiff’s Declaration. Because
27 ruling on each of Defendant’s objections would not narrow the issues for trial, the Court only rules on
28
9
1 Defendant’s objections for the three facts below, which were the facts considered by the Court.
First, Plaintiff testifies that he informed Klag on March 8 about his upcoming military leave.
2
3 Pl. Decl. ¶ 27. Defendant does not object to this part of Plaintiff’s testimony and no ruling is needed.
4 See Dkt. No. 35 (Defendant only objects to the use of the word “acknowledged”). Second, Plaintiff
5 testifies that written verification of his March 11 and 14 training was provided to Defendant at the
6 Board of Adjustments meeting on April 9. Pl. Decl. ¶ 32. Defendant objects that under the best
7 evidence rule the document itself should have been presented. This objection is overruled for the
8 purposes of this Motion. The parties do not dispute whether there are written documents that
9 corroborate Plaintiff was at military training on March 11 and 14. The issue is whether Plaintiff
10 provided verification of this training to Defendant. Thus, the contents of the document are not
12 personal knowledge to make this statement. The third fact relied on by the Court is that Plaintiff told
For the Northern District of California
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
11 material to the Court’s decision. And there is no objection from Defendant that Plaintiff lacks the
13 Sanchez on March 16 that his absences were due to military training. Pl. Decl. ¶ 30. Defendant
14 objects to this testimony because “it contradicts Plaintiff’s prior deposition testimony.” Dkt. No. 35
15 at 15 (“Despite extensive questioning regarding his conversation with Sheri Sanchez at the time of
16 suspension, Plaintiff withheld details at his deposition that he now conveniently testifies to in his
17 declaration”). While the Court is troubled by what appears to be evasive and potentially untruthful
18 testimony by the Plaintiff throughout his deposition, this particular objection is meritless. When
19 asked at the deposition what transpired when Sanchez gave him the suspension letter, Plaintiff, after
20 stating that he did not really remember the conversation, testified that: “To the best of my
21 recollection, I told [Sanchez] that I was at the military drill.” Dkt. No. 36, Szostak Supp. Decl., Ex. 1
22 at 166-67. This is consistent with Plaintiff’s declaration and Defendant’s objection is overruled.5

26

5
Defendant’s other objections to paragraph 30 of Plaintiff’s Declaration appear to only take
issue with Plaintiff’s use of the term “again,” which insinuates that Plaintiff had told Sanchez that he
was absent due to military training before March 16. The Court has not considered this testimony in
its decision and therefore does not rule on the objections.
