INTRODUCTION

Plaintiff Deborah Moore appeals from a judgment entered in favor of defendant

The Regents of the University of California (Defendant). Moore sued Defendant for

claims under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code,1 §§ 12900-

12966) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) (§§ 12945.1, 12945.2).

The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Defendant. Our review of

the record demonstrates that summary judgment was improperly granted with respect to

Moore's first, second, third, fifth and sixth causes of action. Summary adjudication in

favor of Defendant was appropriate, however, with respect to Moore's fourth cause of

action.

We reverse the judgment and remand the matter for further proceedings in the trial

court.
