*914 ORDER PARTIALLY GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment came on for hearing before the Court on December 28, 2011. Docket No. 41. For the reasons set forth below, the Court PARTIALLY GRANTS Defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

I. FACTUAL & PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Plaintiff Timothy Gardner was hired by the Berkeley Police Department (“BPD”) as a Police Officer Recruit on July 25, 1995. Docket No. 48, Exh. A at 35:7-14 (“Gardner Dep.”). Plaintiff became a permanent employee in the classification of Police Officer on December 17, 1997. Docket No. 48, Exh. D. Plaintiff was subsequently injured in 1997 and taken off work by his doctor for approximately three weeks. Docket No. 84 ¶ 5 (“Gardner Deck”). Despite the injury, Plaintiffs supervisor, Sergeant Garrin Neilson, recommended that Plaintiff return earlier, suggesting that a significant injury could result in retirement. Gardner Decl. ¶ 5. On Plaintiffs return, he was berated by his commander, Lieutenant Michele Delatour, who stated that Plaintiff was expected to come into work “[ujnless you’re in a body cast.” Gardner Decl. ¶ 6. When Plaintiffs injury was aggravated and required surgery, Plaintiffs new supervisor, Sergeant Kerry Kent, told Plaintiff that it was not a good time to get injured. Gardner Decl. ¶ 8. Upon Plaintiffs return, Plaintiff was “placed in the notoriously tedious light duty assignment of taking cold reports, called ‘TRT,’ that was commonly assumed to be such an unpleasant assignment that officers would either try to come back full-duty against their doctor’s orders, or accept a disability retirement.” Gardner Decl. ¶ 8. As a result, Plaintiff returned to work earlier than he wanted. Gardner Decl. ¶ 8.

During Plaintiffs career, Plaintiff was the subject of nineteen complaint investigations by BPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau (“LAB”), including eight complaints for excessive force. Docket No. 50, Exh. A. Seven complaints were brought in a five-month span. Docket No. 42 ¶ 4 (“Hambleton Decl.”). The majority of the complaints were deemed unfounded or were not sustained, and several complaints were directed at the team that Plaintiff was a part of rather than at Plaintiff specifically. Gardner Decl. ¶ 9. Four complaints were ultimately sustained, including one for excessive force. 1 Docket No. 50, Exh. A. As a result of the complaints, Plaintiff was placed on an Early Warning System. 2 Hambleton Decl. ¶ 5. Parties dispute the significance of these complaints. Defendant describes Plaintiffs seven complaints in a five-month span as “extremely high,” resulting in a negative opinion of Plaintiffs performance. Hambleton Decl. ¶ 5. Plaintiff argues that the number of complaints was not unusual because working in the Drug Task Force usually resulted in more complaints due to the inherently confrontational nature of the assignment and the use of the complaint process by drug dealers to retaliate against police officers. Gardner Decl. ¶ 9; Docket No. 62 ¶ 4 *915 (“Libed Decl.”); Docket No. 65 ¶ 8 (“Lopes Decl.”); Docket No. 66 ¶ 4 (“Reece Decl.”).

Parties also dispute whether Plaintiff had a good personal reputation during his career. Defendant describes Plaintiff as overly aggressive and a “malcontent,” creating problems in the workplace as well as in the field. Docket No. 46 ¶ 5 (“Schofield Decl.”); Docket No. 47 ¶ 3 (“Upson Decl.”). Plaintiff argues that he was well-liked by his peers, and received positive Performance Appraisal Reports that praised his professionalism and ability to be a team player, commendations, and special assignments based on competitive exams and a recommendation process. See, e.g., Docket No. 84, Exhs. 4, 10-13; Lopes Decl. ¶ 4; Libed Decl. ¶ 3; Reece Decl. ¶¶[ 3, 6; Docket No. 57 ¶ 3 (“Cobert Decl.”); Docket No. 64 ¶¶ 2, 3 (“Dave Lindenau Decl.”); Docket No. 84 ¶ 2 (“Frankel Decl.”).

Plaintiffs employment with BPD ended when he retired on medical disability in 2001, due to his 1997 injury. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 2, 5. In 2000, Administrative Captain Douglas Hambleton informed Plaintiff that BPD was retiring Plaintiff because of the restrictions placed on Plaintiff because of his injury, and took Plaintiff off work. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 20, 21. In 2001, Plaintiff filled out the paperwork for a disability retirement because he feared that his injury time compensation would run out before BPD submitted the paper work, a common form of retaliation. Gardner Decl. ¶ 22; Gardner Dep. 38:6-15. Several months later, Captain Hambleton required Plaintiff to write and sign a letter of resignation in return for his retirement pension. Gardner Decl. ¶ 22. Plaintiffs retirement application was approved in December 2001. Docket No. 43 ¶ 2 (“Hodgkins Decl.”).

In 2002, Plaintiff sought reinstatement with BPD. Docket No. 72, Exh. 6; Docket No. 48, Exh. H. Although Plaintiff was not yet medically cleared, Defendant placed Plaintiff on an eligibility list that would expire in December 2003. Docket No. 72, Exh. 6; Docket No. 48, Exh. F; Gardner Decl. ¶ 26. Plaintiff was medically cleared in April 2003, at which point he requested reinstatement. Docket No. 48, Exh. I; Gardner Depo. 47:18-18:1. BPD responded that there was no legal obligation to reinstate Plaintiff, and refused to reinstate Plaintiff. Defendant attributes this decision to Police Chief Roy Meisner exercising his discretion to not reinstate Plaintiff based on Plaintiffs prior performance and disciplinary record. Docket No. 48, Exh. K ¶8. Plaintiff contends that BPD gave shifting rationales for its decision, including alleging that the Chief had no role in reinstating retired officers, a hiring freeze, concerns that Plaintiff sought a higher pension, and claiming that BPD never received his reinstatement request. Docket No. 72, Exhs. 6, 7; Docket No. 76, Exh. 35 30:6-14 (“Frankel Dep.”).

In 2003, Plaintiff petitioned for a writ of mandate requiring that BPD reinstate Plaintiff under California Government Code § 21192 and § 21193. Docket No. 48, Exh. G. The court denied Plaintiffs petition, finding that the Police Chief had discretion to not reinstate Plaintiff. Gardner Dep. 57:21-58:4. Plaintiff did not appeal the court’s decision.

In 2006, Sergeant David Frankel offered to make informal inquiries about reinstating Plaintiff. Frankel Decl. ¶ 28. However, when Sergeant Frankel approached Captain Eric Gustafson about reinstating Plaintiff, Captain Gustafson informed Sergeant Frankel that reinstatement was unlikely because the black command staff did not like Plaintiff. Frankel Dep. 37:2-38:5.

Between June 2007 and August 2008, Plaintiff began corresponding with Defendant’s Human Resources Department. Plaintiff claims that he requested a meet *916 ing or reasonable accommodations, while Defendant claims that Plaintiff wrote to argue that Defendant was required to reinstate him. Gardner Decl. ¶ 30; Docket No. 43 ¶ 2 (“Hodgkins Decl.”). In an August 2008 letter, Defendant informed Plaintiff that the City had no duty to reinstate Plaintiff and did not intend to take any action on Plaintiffs reinstatement request. Hodgkins Decl., Exh. A. Instead, Plaintiff would have to go through a new recruitment and examination process to be rehired. Hodgkins Decl. ¶ 4, Exh. A.

Although Plaintiff was confused by this suggestion, Plaintiff applied as a new recruit in February 2009. Gardner Decl. ¶ 30; Gardner Dep. 77:1-12. Plaintiff completed the application process at the top of his field, and was placed on the eligibility list as “Best Qualified.” Gardner Decl. ¶ 30; Docket No. 48, Exh. A. In his application, Plaintiff stated that he might require accommodation, but was never contacted regarding the issue of accommodation. Gardner Decl. ¶ 30.

In April 2009, Plaintiffs application was denied. Parties offer competing explanations for this rejection. Defendant states that at the time, BPD’s Personnel & Training Unit was staffed by then-Sergeant Kevin Schofield and Lieutenant Matt Morizono. Docket No. 44 ¶ 2 (“Gustafson Decl.”). Upon seeing Plaintiffs name on the eligibility list, Sergeant Schofield informed Lieutenant Morizono that based on his past experience with Plaintiff, it would be a “big mistake to bring him back.” Schofield Decl. ¶ 5. Sergeant Schofield further recounted his past experiences with Plaintiff, describing Plaintiff as aggressive and argumentative, and a “real problem” in the street. Schofield Decl. ¶ 5. Based on Sergeant Schofield’s description of Plaintiff, Lieutenant Morizono concluded that Plaintiff should not be rehired, but decided to double-check with Lieutenant Erik Upson for further information about Plaintiff. Docket No. 45 ¶¶ 4-5 (“Morizono Decl.”). Lieutenant Upson likewise described Plaintiff as a “maverick” who “pushed the envelope” with his aggressiveness, and recounted an incident in which Plaintiff hazed Lieutenant Upson. Upson Decl. ¶ 3. Based on these conversations, Lieutenant Morizono decided to take no further actions on Plaintiffs application. Morizono Decl. ¶ 5.

Plaintiff denies that he was refused reinstated based on his past performance. Plaintiff argues that he had very limited experience with either Sergeant Schofield or Lieutenant Upson, and denies that the hazing incident described by Lieutenant Upson occurred. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 15-19. Plaintiff instead claims that BPD informed him that his application was not considered because there was a hiring freeze. Gardner Decl. ¶ 34. Despite this alleged hiring freeze, four other officers were hired. Gardner Decl. ¶ 35. Plaintiff argues that this hiring freeze and BPD’s current rationale about his job performance are pretense to BPD’s true reason for not reinstating Plaintiff, which is BPD’s hostility towards medical injuries and disabilities. Compl. ¶ 38. Defendant denies that Plaintiffs prior injury was considered by Lieutenant Morizono, Sergeant Schofield, or Lieutenant Upson. Upson Decl. ¶ 4; Morizono Decl. ¶ 6; Schofield Decl. ¶ 7.

Based on these events, Plaintiff filed his first administrative charge of discrimination against Defendant and individual managers on February 16, 2010. Gardner Dep. 105:15-106:1. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”) issued Plaintiff a Right to Sue Letter on March 19, 2010. Docket No. 48, Exh. A. Plaintiff then filed this suit against Defendant, David Hodgkins, Doug Hambleton, Roy Meisner, and Bobby Miller on June 23, 2010, alleging eight causes of action: (1) disability and/or medical condi *917 tion discrimination under California Government Code § 12940 et seq.; (2) failure to make or engage in reasonable accommodations under California Government Code § 12940 et seq.; (3) failure to engage in a good faith interactive process to determine reasonable accommodations under California Government Code § 12940 et seq.; (4) retaliation under California Government Code § 12940(h); (5) harassment under California Government Code § 12940; (6) failure to prevent discrimination under California Government Code § 12940(k); (7) violation of federal civil rights laws 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 42 U.S.C. § 1985 ; and (8) violation of the California Constitution, Article I, § 7. Defendants then removed this suit to federal court in August 2010. Meisner and Miller were dismissed as Defendants in May 2011, and Hodgkins and Hambleton were dismissed in November 2011. Docket Nos. 24, 40. Defendant now moves for summary judgment.

II. DISCUSSION

A. Standard of Review

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c) provides that summary judgment shall be rendered “if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). An issue of fact is genuine only if there is sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to find for the nonmoving party. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248-49 , 106 S.Ct. 2505 , 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). “The mere existence of a scintilla of evidence in support of the [non-moving partyj’s position will be insufficient; there must be evidence on which the jury could reasonably find for the [non-moving party].” Id. at 252 , 106 S.Ct. 2505 . All reasonable inferences are drawn in the non-moving party’s favor. Id. at 255 , 106 S.Ct. 2505 .

The moving party bears the burden of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 , 106 S.Ct. 2548 , 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). Where the non-moving party has the ultimate burden of proof, the moving party may prevail on a motion for summary judgment by pointing to the non-moving party’s failure “to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party’s case.” Id. at 322 , 106 S.Ct. 2548 . Courts applying the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) have found that a defendant prevails where it meets its burden of showing that the plaintiff cannot state a prima facie case. E.g., Guz v. Bechtel Nat’l, Inc., 24 Cal.4th 317, 371-72 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 (2000) (Chin, J., concurring); Sandell v. Taylor-Listug, Inc., 188 Cal.App.4th 297, 309 , 115 Cal.Rptr.3d 453 (2010).

In ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the Court may only consider admissible evidence. Orr v. Bank of Am., 285 F.3d 764, 773 (9th Cir.2002). Evidence must be authenticated in order to be admissible, “and this condition is satisfied by ‘evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims.’ ” Id. (quoting Fed. R.Evid. 901(a)).

B. Statute of Limitations

1. FEHA Causes of Action

Defendant argues that the majority of Plaintiffs FEHA claims are time-barred because Plaintiff did not file an administrative complaint until February 16, 2010. Motion at 12-13. Under California Government Code § 12960, “[n]o complaint may be filed after the expiration of one year from the date upon which the alleged *918 unlawful practice or refusal to cooperate occurred,” barring exceptions related to delayed discovery. Cal. Gov.Code § 12960(d); see also Richards v. CH2M Hill, Inc., 26 Cal.4th 798, 811-12 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 (2001). The statute of limitations is generally calculated from the date the plaintiff files his or her complaint unless the continuing violation doctrine applies. See Cucuzza v. City of Santa Clara, 104 Cal.App.4th 1031, 1040 , 128 Cal.Rptr.2d 660 (2002).

a. Continuing Violation Doctrine

[3-6] Under the continuing violation doctrine, “an employer is liable for actions that take place outside the limitations period if these actions are sufficiently linked to unlawful conduct that occurred within the limitations period.” Yanowitz v. L’Oreal USA Inc., 36 Cal.4th 1028, 1056 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 (2005). The continuing violation doctrine applies when an employer’s unlawful acts are: (1) sufficiently similar in kind; (2) have occurred with reasonable frequency; and (3) have not acquired a degree of permanence. Richards, 26 Cal.4th at 823 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Thus, a continuing violation may exist where there is a company-wide policy or practice of discrimination, or a series of related acts against a single individual. Morgan v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal,, 88 Cal.App.4th 52, 64 , 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 652 (2000). The continuing violation doctrine is justified on the grounds that:

In Richards , the plaintiff sued for disability discrimination, harassment, and failure to reasonably accommodate her disability. 26 Cal.4th at 802 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Although the alleged adverse actions occurred over the course of five years, the court found that the continuing violation doctrine applied because the defendant’s failure to reasonably accommodate the plaintiffs disability was part of a single course of conduct. Id. at 819 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Thus, “[a]s with harassment, an instance of an employer’s failure to accommodate that in isolation may seem trivial can assume greater significance and constitute a greater injury when viewed as one of a series of such failures.” Id. at 822 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Furthermore, the court found that reasonably accommodation was often an ongoing process rather than a *919 single decision. Id. at 821 , 111 Cal. Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Requiring the plaintiff to sue for each discrete failure to accommodate would prevent the plaintiff from engaging in an interactive process with her employer in the hope that the parties would come to an informal resolution. Id. at 823 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 . Once an employer makes clear that it will not accommodate the employee — making the condition ‘permanent’— the employee no longer has a reason to delay, and will be required to take formal legal action. Id.

Likewise, in Yanowitz , the California Supreme Court found that the plaintiffs claims were not time-barred as a matter of law. 36 Cal.4th at 1060 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . There, the plaintiff was a regional sales manager who refused to fire a female sales associate in 1997 that the general manager deemed was not attractive enough. Id. at 1038 , 32 Cal. Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . Beginning in April 1998, the general manager began to solicit negative comments about the plaintiff from her subordinates, frequently criticized her management style, and refused to allow her to answer these charges during a July 1998 meeting, ultimately resulting in her departure. Id. at 1039-40 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . Although the plaintiff did not file her complaint with DFEH until June 1999, the court found that the continuing violation doctrine could apply to impose liability for actions that occurred prior to June 1998 because the plaintiff alleged a course of conduct in which the defendant solicited or fabricated negative information, and then used this information to intimidate, disempower, and punish the plaintiff. Id. at 1059 , 32 Cal. Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . The court found that a reasonable trier of fact could find that the plaintiff “was not on notice that further conciliatory efforts would be futile, until her final attempts to meet with company representatives to discuss the criticism directed at her were finally rebuffed.” Id.

In contrast, the court in Morgan found that the continuing violation doctrine did not apply to the plaintiffs retaliation claim. 88 Cal.App.4th at 67 , 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 652 . There, the plaintiff alleged that he was laid off after filing a grievance claiming racial discrimination. Id. at 57-58 , 105 Cal. Rptr.2d 652 . After being laid off, the plaintiff applied for thirty-two jobs with the University between 1995 and 1996, but was not hired despite having preference for employment on the campus. Id. at 57-58 . 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 652 . The plaintiff then filed a complaint with DFEH in April 1997, alleging that he was denied employment and rehire rights in retaliation for filing a grievance. Id. at 62 , 105 Cal. Rptr.2d 652 . The court found that the continuing violation doctrine did not apply because the unlawful acts were insufficiently similar in kind, as the plaintiff had not alleged a University-wide policy of discrimination or that the individual hiring decisions were related. Id. at 65 , 105 Cal. Rptr.2d 652 . Instead, the hiring decisions were isolated employment decisions “made by different decision makers in unrelated departments of the University regarding positions with varying job requirements.” Id. Furthermore, the court found that “each time appellant was informed he was not being hired for a position to which he had applied, he was, or should have been, aware this action might be contrary to his preferential rehire rights.” Id. at 67 , 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 652 . Thus, each rejection “had the degree of permanence which should trigger an employee’s awareness of and duty to assert his ... rights.” Id. at 66 . 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 652 .

b. Application

In the instant case, Plaintiffs claims concern five events: (1) Plaintiffs forced medical retirement in 2001; (2) *920 Plaintiffs first reinstatement attempt between 2002 and 2003; (3) Sergeant Frankel’s informal inquiries reinstating Plaintiff in 2006; (4) Plaintiffs communications with the Human Resources Department regarding reinstatement and reasonable accommodations between 2007 and 2008; and (5) Plaintiffs 2009 application. Plaintiff filed his complaint with DFEH in February 2010. Absent the continuing violation doctrine, Plaintiffs claims concerning events occurring prior to February 2009 would be barred.

The Court finds that although Plaintiff may be able to raise an issue regarding whether Defendant’s acts were similar in nature, having alleged a pattern of harassing officers and forced disability retirements, Plaintiff cannot demonstrate that the events had not acquired a “degree of permanence.” Considering the twin goals of the continuing violation doctrine — preventing employees from being forced into bringing actions that are unripe for adjudication, and encouraging informal resolution of disputes — BPD’s decision to retire Plaintiff and its subsequent decisions to not reinstate Plaintiff were separate, discrete events that were ripe for legal adjudication when they occurred. Plaintiff alleges that he was forced into medical retirement in 2001. Gardner Deck ¶¶ 20-22. A reasonable person who believed he was being wrongfully forced into retirement because of his medical injury would be aware that his rights were being violated, and could bring suit to protest the forced retirement. Likewise, Plaintiff sought reinstatement in 2002, but was rejected despite his belief that reinstatement was required under California law. Gardner Deck ¶ 26. At that point, Plaintiff should have — and apparently did — recognize that his rights were being violated, as demonstrated by Plaintiffs petition for a writ of mandate against Defendant in 2003. Gardner Dep. 57:21-58:4. In 2006, Sergeant Frankel made informal inquiries about reinstating Plaintiff, but was told that Plaintiff was not well-liked by the black command staff and thus reinstatement was unlikely. Frankel Dep. 37:2-38:5. Again, this rejection should have put Plaintiff on notice that his rights, if any, were being violated if he believed he was entitled to reinstatement. Finally, Plaintiff communicated with the Human Resources Department between 2007 and 2008, but was told that Defendant believed it was not obligated to reinstate Plaintiff and that Plaintiff would instead have to go through a new recruitment and examination process. Gardner Deck ¶ 30; Hodgkins Deck ¶¶ 2, 4. Plaintiff himself states that he was confused by this statement, and suspected that they were attempting to further humiliate or discourage him from seeking employment with BPD. Gardner Deck ¶ 30. Given Plaintiff’s belief that he was entitled to reinstatement, and his suspicions that Defendant was attempting wrongfully to discourage him from seeking employment, Plaintiff was on notice on his rights were being violated and that his claim was ripe for adjudication.

Furthermore, Defendant’s actions clearly indicated that they were unwilling to cooperate further with Plaintiff. Each event involved a final decision to either retire or not reinstate Plaintiff, with no opportunity for further discussion. While Plaintiff argues that the decision not to rehire or reinstate Plaintiff was not permanent in the sense that BPD could still hire Plaintiff in the future, a final decision was still made to not hire Plaintiff at that time. Docket No. 56 at 17 (“Opp.”). Plaintiff himself apparently recognized the futility of informal conciliation, given that Plaintiff took formal legal action in 2003 when he petitioned for a writ of mandate from the state court to require his reinstatement to the BPD. Gardner Dep. 57:21-58:4. Thus, *921 unlike in Richards , where the court found that the plaintiff and defendant continued to engage in an informal process to address the plaintiffs concerns regarding accommodation, defendant in the instant case ended any informal conciliation process, and plaintiff proceeded to legal action in the state court. See Richards, 26 Cal.4th at 802 , 111 Cal.Rptr.2d 87 , 29 P.3d 175 ; Yanowitz, 36 Cal.4th at 1059 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 (finding that plaintiff was not on notice that further conciliatory efforts would be futile until her attempt to discuss criticisms levied against her was rebuffed in her final meeting with company representatives).

Because Defendant’s actions had acquired a degree of permanence, the continuing violation doctrine does not apply in the instant case. Accordingly, Plaintiff may only bring FEHA claims based on Plaintiffs 2009 application, the only event within FEHA’s one year statute of limitations. However, this does not necessarily preclude admission of evidence regarding events outside of the statute of limitations probative to Plaintiffs substantive claims; that issue is reserved for trial. See Cucuzza, 104 Cal.App.4th at 1045 , 128 Cal.Rptr.2d 660 .

2. 12 U.S.C. § 1983 and Í2 U.S.C. § 1985 Claims

The statute of limitations for § 1983 and § 1985 claims is the forum state’s statute of limitations for personal injury actions. McDougal v. Cnty. of Imperial, 942 F.2d 668, 672-73 (9th Cir.1991). California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions that arise on or after January 1, 2003. Cal.Code Civ. P. § 335.1. Pursuant to the Supreme Court’s decision in National Railroad Passenger Corp., the Ninth Circuit has found that the continuing violation doctrine only applies in § 1983 and § 1985 claims based on hostile work environment. See Carpinteria Valley Farms, Ltd. v. Cnty. of Santa Barbara, 344 F.3d 822 , 829 (9th Cir.2003); Beauregard v. Lewis Cnty., 329 Fed.Appx. 710 , 712 (9th Cir.2009). Otherwise, acts occurring outside of the statute of limitations period cannot be used to support claims of constitutional violations. See Carpinteria Valley Farms, 344 F.3d at 829.

In the instant case, Plaintiffs complaint was filed on June 23, 2010. The statute of limitations bars claims based on events prior to June 23, 2008. Thus, Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims are limited to the 2009 application process and Defendant’s final written denial of Plaintiffs last request for reinstatement in August 2008.

3. State Constitutional Claims

Like the statute of limitations for federal constitutional claims, the statute of limitations for state constitutional claims is based on California’s statute of limitations for personal injury actions — two years. See Rosenbaum v. City & Cnty. of San Francisco, 484 F.3d 1142 , 1150 (2007). Although the continuing violation doctrine is not limited to hostile work environment claims, for the reasons stated above, the continuing violation doctrine is inapplicable in this case because events prior to June 23, 2008 obtained a degree of permanence. Accordingly, Plaintiffs state constitutional claims are limited to the 2009 application process and Defendant’s final written denial of Plaintiffs last request for reinstatement in August 2008.

C. Specific Causes of Action

1. Disability/Medical Condition Discrimination

a. Standard

California has adopted the McDonnell burden-shifting test for FEHA claims. See Guz, 24 Cal.4th at 354 , 100 *922 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 . Under this test, the plaintiff has the initial burden of establishing a prima facie case of discrimination, which generally requires evidence that: (1) the plaintiff is a member of a protected class; (2) the plaintiff was qualified for the position he sought or was performing competently in the position he held; (3) the plaintiff suffered an adverse employment action, such as termination or denial of an available job; and (4) some other circumstances that suggest a discriminatory motive. Id. at 354-55 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 . Once the plaintiff establishes a prima facie case, a presumption of discrimination arises and the burden shifts to the defendant to demonstrate that the adverse employment action was taken for a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason. Id. at 355-56 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 . The demonstration of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason causes the presumption of discrimination to disappear, shifting the burden back to the plaintiff to demonstrate that the proffered reason is mere pretext for discrimination. Id. at 356 , 100 CaJ.Rptr.2d 352, 8 P.3d 1089 . A plaintiff may satisfy this burden by “establishing] that he was the victim of intentional discrimination by showing that the employer’s proffered explanation is unworthy of credence.” Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., 530 U.S. 133, 143 , 120 S.Ct. 2097 , 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000). Thus, “evidence of dishonest reasons, considered together with the elements of the prima facie case, may permit a finding of prohibited bias.” Guz, 24 Cal.4th at 356 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 .

b. Application

In the instant case, Defendant’s primary argument is that Plaintiffs 2009 application was denied because supervisors in BPD’s Personnel & Training Unit exercised their discretion to not move Plaintiffs application forward based on direct knowledge of Plaintiffs prior poor work performance. 4 Motion at 15. At the hearing on this matter, Defendant argued that because it had presented legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for rejecting Plaintiffs 2009 application, summary judgment was warranted pursuant to the California Supreme Court’s ruling in Guz .

In Guz , the court held that where a defendant proffers legitimate reasons factually unrelated to prohibited bias, summary judgment is warranted because the legitimate reasons preclude a finding of discrimination. 24 Cal.4th at 358, 362 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 . However, Guz is distinguishable from this case because there, the plaintiff “essentially conceded that the reasons cited by [the defendant] in support of its motion for summary judgment — cost efficiency and concerns about [the plaintiffs department] performance as a unit — were the true reasons why [the defendant] decided to eliminate [the plaintiffs department].” Id. at 364 , 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 . “Under such circumstances, any independent circumstantial evidence of discrimination is insufficient to raise a rational inference that [the Defendant] acted on grounds of prohibited bias.” Id. at 366 , 100 Cal. Rptr.2d 352 , 8 P.3d 1089 .

In contrast, Plaintiff has introduced evidence directly disputing Defendant’s given reasons for not hiring Plaintiff in 2009, and *923 further provides evidence that a reasonable trier of fact could find demonstrates pretext for Defendant’s decision not to rehire Plaintiff. First, Plaintiff disputes whether Plaintiffs reputation was in fact negative. Opp. at 6-8. Plaintiff provides depositions from several of Plaintiffs coworkers who describe Plaintiff as professional and courteous, and well-liked by his fellow officers. See Lopes Decl. ¶ 4; Frankel Decl. ¶ 2; Libed Decl. ¶ 3; Reece Decl. ¶¶ 3, 6; Cobert Decl. ¶ 3; Dave Lindenau Decl. ¶¶ 2-3. These declarations create a dispute over whether Plaintiff in fact had a negative reputation, as it demonstrates that a number of officers who worked closely with Plaintiff though highly of him and believed that he had a good reputation with other officers. Plaintiff also provides his Performance Appraisals, which do not suggest that Plaintiff was a problem officer but instead praised Plaintiffs professionalism and ability to be a team player. Docket No. 72, Exhs. 4, 10; Docket No. 73, Exhs. 11-13. Again, these appraisals contradict Defendant’s argument that Plaintiff had a negative reputation, and create a dispute over whether Defendant’s refusal to rehire Plaintiff based on his alleged reputation was legitimate.

Second, Plaintiff disputes that Sergeant Schofield and Lieutenant Upson even had the opportunity to form their negative impressions of Plaintiff because neither worked closely with Plaintiff. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 16, 19. Plaintiff specifically denies the hazing incident recounted by Lieutenant Upson, and contends that he only had a limited working relationship with Sergeant Schofield because they worked on different teams with different supervisors. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 18, 19. Again, this statement helps create a dispute over whether the decision not to rehire Plaintiff was based on Plaintiffs actual performance, or an illegal motivation.

Third, Plaintiff disputes that the number of complaints he received was unusual and would have demonstrated that Plaintiff had work performance. Opp. at 8-9. Plaintiff worked in the Drug Task Force, which usually resulted in more complaints due to its inherently confrontational nature and the use of the complaint process by drug dealers as retaliation. Gardner Decl. ¶ 9; Lopes Decl. ¶ 8; Libed Decl. ¶ 4; Reece Decl. ¶ 4. Although Defendant responds that Plaintiff failed to provide evidence that the City had ever rehired an officer with a sustained excessive force complaint, Defendant does not provide direct evidence that the 2009 decision not to rehire Plaintiff was based on that complaint. Furthermore, the other officer who was the subject of the same sustained excessive force complaint against Plaintiff was promoted, despite the sustained complaint. Gardner Decl. ¶ 11. This suggests that the sustained complaint should not alone have barred Plaintiffs rehiring, as the same complaint did not bar the promotion of Plaintiffs partner.

Fourth, Plaintiff alleges that he was given different reasons for Defendant’s rejection of his 2009 application. Plaintiff was told that his application was not going forward because the department had a total hiring freeze, which was belied by BPD’s hiring of two UC Berkeley Campus Police over the next several weeks, and two more UC Berkeley Campus Police over the next several months. Gardner Decl. ¶¶ 3-4. Now, Defendant argues that Plaintiff was not rehired because of his prior performance. 5 The alleged falsity of *924 this initial reason, followed by Defendant’s shifting rationale that Plaintiff was in fact not hired because of his prior reputation or his sustained complaints, also creates a dispute over the reasons underlying the decision to not rehire Plaintiff.

Finally, Plaintiff presents evidence of a pattern and policy of discrimination towards medical disabilities and conditions. For example, several prior BPD employees were medically retired and either had to promise not to seek reemployment with BPD, or were not rehired or reinstated despite their qualifications. Cheryl Lindenau, a former BPD Dispatch Supervisor, states that she was told that she would not be rehired because of her wrist injury and subsequent surgery. 6 Docket No. 63 ¶¶ 2-3 (“Cheryl Lindenau Decl.”). Christine Knowlton states that she was required to sign a document stating that she would resign in order to receive her disability retirement and pension, even though she only intended to medically retire rather than resign. Docket No. 59 ¶ 1 (“Khowlton Deck”). Sean McCann likewise states that he was compelled to sign a document agreeing to never apply for employment with the City of Berkeley, as part of a Compromise and Release in relation to his medical retirement. McCann Deck ¶ 6; Docket No. 98, Exh. B.

Plaintiff also alleges other incidents of discrimination against those with medical disability. In Plaintiffs case, he describes incidents where after his injury was aggravated, he was placed on “the notoriously tedious light duty assignment of taking cold reports, called ‘TRT,’ that was commonly assumed to be such an unpleasant assignment that officers would either try to come back full-duty against their doctor’s orders, or accept a disability retirement.” Gardner Deck ¶ 8; see also McCann Deck ¶ 5. Plaintiff also claims that he was forced into medical retirement, and that his subsequent attempts at reinstatement were rejected because of discrimination against medical disabilities. Gardner Deck ¶¶ 20-22; Frankel Deck ¶ 3 (stating that Plaintiffs attempt for reinstatement was “thwarted by unjustifiable commentary by former Chief Doug Hambleton about [Plaintiffs] injury, suspicions about his motivation for returning to work, his work history, his reputation, including the statement to me that he thought [Plaintiffs] chances for coming back to work were not good because Hambleton thought that there would be nothing to stop him from coming back, getting re-injured and then going back out on disability retirement at a higher rate of pay.”).

Taken together, a reasonable trier of fact could find that Defendant’s reason for denying Plaintiffs application was pretext for its discrimination against medical disabilities and conditions. Plaintiff has presented evidence that his prior job performance should not have been a bar to his rehiring, as well as evidence of prior discrimination against himself and other BPD employees who were medically disabled. Even if Plaintiff cannot recover in liability for these past acts, such evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior that may have influenced Defendant’s decision not to hire Plaintiff. Thus, a triable issue of material fact exists as to whether Defendant’s rejection of Plaintiffs 2009 application was based on illegal discrimination.

2. Reasonable Accommodation

FEHA prohibits an employer from “failfing] to make reasonable accommodation for the known physical or mental disability of an applicant or employee.” *925 Cal. Gov.Code § 12940(m). Because Plaintiffs FEHA claims for events prior to February 2009 are time-barred, Plaintiff must demonstrate that Defendant failed to make reasonable accommodations for Plaintiff during the 2009 application process. Instead, Plaintiffs request for accommodation is limited to a statement on his job application, stating, “Although I was forced to resign from the Berkeley Police Department due to an on-duty injury, I have since rehabilitated myself and am not limited in the way I was previously. I will require minimal, if any, accommodations for my previous injury.” Docket No. 48, Exh. O. Plaintiff presents no evidence that he did in fact require accommodations, which Defendant then denied. Plaintiff was able to submit his application and complete the Oral Board interview, at which point he was placed on the eligibility list. Motion at 17. This was consistent with Defendant’s policy of evaluating a candidate’s qualifications for a position pri- or to making any inquiry regarding the candidate’s medical condition. Hodgkins Decl. ¶ 6. Because Plaintiff makes no showing that Defendant failed to provide reasonable accommodation during the 2009 application process, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to Plaintiffs reasonable accommodation claim.

3. Failure to Engage in a Good Faith Interactive Process

FEHA prohibits an employer from “failing] to engage in a timely, good faith, interactive process with the employee or applicant to determine effective reasonable accommodations, if any, in response to a request for reasonable accommodation by an employee or applicant with a known physical or mental disability or known medical condition.” Cal. Gov.Code § 12940(n). Although Plaintiff made multiple requests regarding how he might return to work between 2002 and 2008, claims based on events prior to February 2009 are time-barred. Plaintiffs last request for reinstatement was made in July 2008, and a response to this request was made in August 2008, more than a year prior to Plaintiffs complaint with DFEH. Hodgkins Deck, Exh. A. Because Plaintiff makes no showing that Defendant failed to engage in a good faith interactive process within the statute of limitations, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to this claim.

4. Retaliation ( Cal. Gov. Code § 12910 )

To demonstrate a prima facie case for retaliation, “a plaintiff must show (1) he or she engaged in a ‘protected activity,’ (2) the employer subjected the employee to an adverse employment action, and (3) a causal link existed between the protected activity and the employer’s action.” Yanowitz, 36 Cal.4th at 1042 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . A “protected activity” exists where the plaintiff “has opposed any practices forbidden under this part or because the person has filed a complaint, testified, or assisted in any proceeding under this part.” Cal. Gov.Code § 12940(h). Thus, a “retaliation claim may be brought by any employee who has complained of or opposed conduct that the employee reasonably believes to be discriminatory.” Yanowitz, 36 Cal.4th at 1043 , 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . If the defendant offers a sufficient non-retaliatory reason, the plaintiff loses the presumption of retaliation and must prove intentional retaliation. Id.

In the instant case, Plaintiff has not demonstrated that he was engaged in a “protected activity.” Instead, Plaintiff argues that he was engaged in a “protected activity” by receiving a medical retirement. The act of receiving a medical retirement is not a “protected activity” as required by *926 the statute, as it does not involve complaining of or opposing any discriminatory conduct prohibited by § 12940. Because Plaintiff cannot identify a “protected activity” as defined by the statute, Plaintiff has not demonstrated a prima facie case for retaliation. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to Plaintiffs retaliation claim.

5. Harassment

FEHA prohibits harassment of an employee or applicant. Cal. Gov.Code § 12940(j)(l). To establish a claim for harassment, a plaintiff must demonstrate that: “(1) plaintiff is a member of a protected group; (2) plaintiff was subjected to harassment because he belonged to this group; and (3) the alleged harassment was so severe that it created a hostile work environment.” Huck v. Kone Inc., No. C 10-01845 RS, 2011 WL 6294466 , at *11, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 144438 , at *32 (N.D.Cal. Dec. 15, 2011) (citing Aguilar v. Avis Rent A Car Sys., Inc., 21 Cal.4th 121, 130 , 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 132 , 980 P.2d 846 (1999)). In contrast to discrimination claims, “harassment consists of conduct outside the scope of necessary job performance, conduct presumably engaged in for personal gratification, because of meanness or bigotry, or for other personal motives. Harassment is not conduct of a type necessary for management of the employer’s business or performance of the supervisory employee’s job.” Janken v. GM Hughes Elecs., 46 Cal.App.4th 55, 63 , 53 Cal.Rptr.2d 741 (1996); see also Reno v. Baird, 18 Cal.4th 640, 645-46 , 76 Cal.Rptr.2d 499 , 957 P.2d 1333 (1998); Roby v. McKesson Corp., 47 Cal.4th 686, 706 , 101 Cal.Rptr.3d 773 , 219 P.3d 749 (2009). Thus, whereas a discrimination claim could include a personnel decision, a harassment claim must be based on conduct that is avoidable and unnecessary to job performance. Janken, 46 Cal.App.4th at 64 , 53 Cal.Rptr.2d 741 .

Plaintiff alleged two harassing acts within the statute of limitations: (1) Defendant forcing Plaintiff to apply rather than recognizing his request for reinstatement, and (2) Defendant’s refusal to engage in any kind of dialogue about Plaintiffs request for accommodation. Gardner Dep. 137:6-18. Neither act is harassment, as hiring decisions are not avoidable and unnecessary to job performance. See Reno, 18 Cal.4th at 646-647 , 76 Cal.Rptr.2d 499 , 957 P.2d 1333 . At the hearing on this matter, Plaintiff conceded that it had not demonstrated a claim for harassment. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to Plaintiffs harassment claim.

6. Failure to Prevent Discrimination

FEHA prohibits an employer from “failing] to take all reasonable steps necessary to prevent discrimination and harassment from occurring.” Cal. Gov. Code § 12940 (k). Thus, a claim of failure to prevent discrimination requires a discriminatory act.

In the instant case, Plaintiff has argued that Defendant approved Lieutenant Morizono’s and Sergeant Schofield’s decision not to rehire Plaintiff, without ensuring that the decision was properly made by examining his oral board score, work history, education, and other information normally considered when determining if an applicant is qualified. Docket No. 76, Exh. 33 39:1-8 (“Gustafson Dep.”). Defendant’s only response is that there is no discriminatory act in this case, and thus Defendant cannot be held liable for failing to prevent discrimination. Motion at 22; Reply at 14. As discussed above, a triable issue of material fact exists regarding whether Defendant discriminated against Plaintiff based on Plaintiffs medical injury when it decided not to rehire him. Accordingly, the Court finds that there is a *927 triable issue regarding whether Defendant failed to prevent discrimination, and denies Defendant’s motion for summary judgment as to this claim.

7. Violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and 42 U.S.C. § 1985

As an initial matter, Defendant argued that Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims fail because Plaintiff cannot bring § 1983 and § 1985 claims simultaneous with claims that fall under antidiscrimination statutes. Motion at 23. However, Defendant’s ease law concerned § 1983 and § 1985 claims that were based on violations of the ADA and Title VII. Holbrook v. City of Alpharetta, 112 F.3d 1522, 1531 (11th Cir.1997) (dismissing § 1983 claim based on a violation of the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act); Ward v. Coastal Carolina Health Care, P.A., 597 F.Supp.2d 567, 572 (E.D.N.C.2009) (stating that § 1985 claim cannot be used to redress deprivation of Title VII rights). In the instant case, Plaintiff is not basing his claims on statutory rights, but on due process and equal protection. Compare Marziano v. Cnty. of Marin, No. C-10-2740 EMC, 2010 WL 3895528 , at *6, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 109595 , at *18 (Oct. 4, 2010) (rejecting Defendant’s motion to dismiss because the case did not involve a § 1983 claim based on the ADA, but a § 1983 claim based on the due process clause). The Court rejects Defendant’s argument that Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims fail because Plaintiff also brought FEHA claims, as Plaintiffs federal claims are not based on FEHA but on the due process and equal protection clauses.

As to the substantive merits of Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims, Defendant does not discuss Plaintiffs equal protection claims but limits its challenge to Plaintiffs due process claims. In order to demonstrate a due process clause, the plaintiff must establish that he or she has a protected property interest. “[Property interests are not created by the Constitution, but rather by ‘existing rules or understandings that stem from an independent source such as state law.’ ” Nunez v. City of Los Angeles, 147 F.3d 867, 872 (9th Cir.1998). For example, “[i]n California, the terms and conditions of public employment are generally fixed by statute, rules or regulations creating it, not by contract (even if one is involved).” Id.

In the instant case, Plaintiff argues that he has a legally protected property interest in reinstatement, such that Defendant was required to reinstate Plaintiff once he was medically cleared. Opp. at 20. Plaintiff first argues that California Government Code § 21192 requires mandatory reexamination upon a medical retiree’s request for reinstatement, and that California Government Code § 21196 states: “The board may reinstate a person from retirement upon (a) his or her application to the board for reinstatement and (b) the determination of the board that his or her age at the date of application for reinstatement is at least six months less than the age of compulsory retirement.” However, neither statute creates a mandatory requirement that once a medical retiree is medically cleared, he is entitled to reinstatement. The statutes use permissive language, stating that the board “may” reinstate a person from retirement. The statute does not state that the board “must” or “shall” reinstate a person from retirement. 7

Nor do Plaintiffs other authorities support Plaintiffs position that reinstatement is mandatory. The CalPERS guide does *928 not state that reinstatement is mandatory; furthermore, even if it did, the document is not binding as “statements in this booklet are general .... If there is a conflict between the law and this booklet, any decisions will be based on the law and not this booklet.” Docket No. 74, Exh. 25. As for the League of California Cities’ Summary of Existing Policy and Guiding Principles, the document only states that it supports a policy requiring mandatory reinstatement for employees certified able to work by medical exam. Docket No. 75, Exh. 28 at 2. The policy appears to be a set of recommendations and does not impose legal duty, and thus does not alone create a property right to reinstatement.

Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that he had a mandatory right to reinstatement. Without establishing a property right in reinstatement, Plaintiff cannot demonstrate that there was a due process violation based on Defendant’s denial of reinstatement in August 2008. Plaintiff makes no arguments that Defendant was required to rehire him based on the 2009 application. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims based on the due process clause. As Defendant makes no argument regarding Plaintiffs claims based on the equal protection clause, Defendant has not satisfied its burden of demonstrating that no claim based on the equal protection clause exists.

8. Violation of California Constitution, Art. I, § 7

California Constitution Article I, § 7 states that: “A person may not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law or denied equal protection of the laws .... ” Cal. Const., Art. I § 7. Like Plaintiffs § 1983 and § 1985 claims, Plaintiffs California constitutional claims are based on a deprivation of due process and equal protection. Again, Defendant has limited its challenge to Plaintiffs due process claims, arguing that Plaintiff has not demonstrated that Defendant deprived Plaintiff a protected property right. Opp. at 25. As above, to the extent that Plaintiff argues that he was entitled to reinstatement, Plaintiff failed to identify any authority creating a right to reinstatement. Accordingly, Plaintiffs claim based on the due process claim fails, and Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to Plaintiffs California constitutional claims based on deprivation of due process. Defendant has not met its burden of establishing that Plaintiff has no claim based on equal protection.

III. CONCLUSION

For the reasons stated above, the Court PARTIALLY GRANTS Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED as to Plaintiffs claims for: (1) reasonable accommodation; (2) failure to engage in a good faith, interactive process; (3) retaliation; (4) harassment; (5) § 1983 and § 1985 claims based on the due process clause; and (6) California constitutional claims based on deprivation of due process. Defendant’s motion is DENIED as to Plaintiffs claims for: (1) discrimination under FEHA for the 2009 denial of Plaintiffs application; (2) failure to prevent discrimination under FEHA for the same conduct; (3) § 1983 and § 1985 claims based on equal protection for the 2008 and 2009 denials; and (4) California constitutional claims based on equal protection for the same conduct.

This order disposes of Docket No. 41.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

. Two other complaints involved police car mishaps, and the third concerned Plaintiffs and his partner’s failure to generate a computer notation for a detention that did not result in an arrest. Docket No. 50, Exh. A.

. The Early Warning System is a non-documented form of verbal counseling to determine if there are areas needed for improvement for an officer. Gardner Decl. ¶ 10. Parties do not appear to dispute that the Early Warning System is not a punitive measure.

. Applying this reasoning, the California Supreme Court declined to extend National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan to FEHA claims. Yanowitz, 36 Cal.4th at 1058 n. 18, 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 . In National Railroad Passenger Corp., the Supreme Court found that under Title VII, the continuing violation exception only applied to hostile work environment claims. 536 U.S. 101, 122, 122 S.Ct. 2061 , 153 L.Ed.2d 106 (2002). The California Supreme Court explicitly rejected this limited use of the continuing violation exception, stating:

Yanowitz, 36 Cal.4th at 1058 n. 18, 32 Cal.Rptr.3d 436 , 116 P.3d 1123 .

. In this motion, Defendant does not dispute whether Plaintiff can make a prima facie case. Instead, ”[f]or purposes of this motion, and without waiving its right to assert the argument later in this litigation, the City assumes Plaintiff can make a prima facie case of discrimination with respect to his alleged disability and/or perceived disability.” Motion at 15.

. In earlier Case Management Conference statements, Defendant does not appear to argue that Plaintiff was not hired because of his prior performance. Instead, Defendant has argued that there was a hiring freeze, and that no officers were hired from the eligibility list Plaintiff was on. See Docket No. 10 at 4-5; Docket No. 19 at 4; Docket No. 31 at 4-5.

. Although Defendant correctly points out that Ms. Lindenau appeared to resign for family reasons, the issue is whether the decision to not rehire Ms. Lindenau was based on medical discrimination.

. Notably, Plaintiff's 2003 petition for a writ of mandate appeared to make similar argumerits, which the court rejected.
