MOTION
Plaintiff Layla Rezvan hereby submits the following motion for administrative

23

relief in compliance with Civil LR 7-11, seeking the following relief: an order authorizing

24

Rezvan to submit the judicial opinion issued by the California Court of Appeal on November 16,

25

2016, in Soria v. Univision Radio Los Angeles (copy attached).

26

The motion is brought on the following grounds:

27

1.

The defendant’s motion for summary judgment was argued and submitted

to the court on September 22, 2016. No ruling has been received.

2.

Civil LR 7-3(d)(2) allows parties to submit as “supplementary material”

2

relevant judicial opinions published after the briefing but before the hearing. Otherwise, the rule

3

does not allow submission of newly issued judicial opinions.

3.

The hearing was held on September 22, 2016. The motion remains under

4.

The California Court of Appeal issued the attached opinion in Soria v.

submission.

6
7

Univision Radio Los Angeles yesterday, November 16, 2016. The facts of the Soria case are

8

different from the present case. However, the Court of Appeal has substantial legal discussion at

9

pages 9 through 15 of the opinion regarding some of the same legal claims at issue here for

10

disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, and failure to engage in the interactive process.

11

That discussion in this newly issued judicial opinion may assist the court with the issues

12

currently under submission on the summary judgment motion.

13

Wherefore, plaintiff requests the court issue an order for administrative relief

14

authorizing Rezvan to submit the attached California Court of Appeal opinion in Soria v.

15

Univision Radio Los Angeles.

Dated: November 17, 2016
