Roman

Appellant Edward Roman appeals from an order dismissing his verified first amended complaint after the trial court sustained the County of Los Angeles’s (County) general demurrer, without leave to amend, to each of its eight causes of action. All of the causes of action in the amended complaint arose from County’s alleged discriminatory treatment of appellant, its employee. The trial court concluded that six causes of action were barred by the statute of limitations and the other two by appellant’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. Appellant’s primary contentions on appeal are that his claims for employment discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and title VH of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991 were timely filed because they were filed within one year of his receipt of a right-to-sue letter from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and because the continuing violation doctrine is applicable.
