Mangano

Plaintiff and appellant Thomas Mangano appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of his employer, defendant and appellant Verity, Inc. (Verity), and his former supervisor, defendant and appellant Steven R. Springsteel. Mangano claimed discrimination and verbal harassment based on a perceived disability in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Government Code section 12900 et seq. We concur with the trial court’s conclusion that defendants are entitled to summary judgment on the FEHA claim and affirm the judgment.

In a separate appeal, both parties challenge the trial court’s postjudgment order granting defendants’ motion for expert witness fees and denying defendants’ motion for attorney’s fees, filed February 13, 2007. Mangano appeals from the award of expert witness fees, and Verity and Springsteel cross-appeal the denial of their request for attorney’s fees. We find no error and affirm the order.
