Lawyers representing Los Angeles County are seeking to dismiss all claims in a lawsuit filed 3 1/2 years ago by eight sheriff’s deputies alleging they were coerced into quitting by their colleagues.
“The undisputed facts show no adverse employment action, no discrimination, no severe or pervasive harassment, no retaliation, no outrageous conduct, no severe emotional distress, no violent threats, no duty of care, no assault or battery in the course of employment, and no deprivation of rights,” county attorneys argue in court papers filed on Feb. 17 with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco, who is scheduled to hear the county’s motion on March 6.
