MEMORANDUM OPINION RE: PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION OF THE ISSUES PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 56(b)
7. INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs Cynthia Llanos and Sophia Na-zaryan initiated this housing discrimination lawsuit against Defendants Joe Coehlo, Terri Alsup, Estate of Anthony Coehlo, Estate of Frank Coehlo, and Linda Vista Farms Partnership, individually and doing business as Del Monte Pines (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging Defendants discriminated against Plaintiffs on the basis of “familial status” in violation of federal and state laws.
Plaintiffs move for partial summary judgment or partial summary adjudication pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, seeking a judgment that Defendants violated federal and state anti-discrimination laws by: (1) unlawfully steering tenants based on their familial status; and (2) implementing rules evincing a preference, limitation or discrimination in the “provision of services and facilities” on the basis of familial status. Defendants oppose the pending motion. For the following reasons, Plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment is DENIED IN PART AND GRANTED IN PART.
