Petition for review after affirmance in part and reversed in part of judgment in civil action. Issues: (1) Should California law recognize the “stray remarks” doctrine, which permits the trial court in ruling on a motion for summary judgment to disregard isolated discriminatory remarks or comments unrelated to the decision-making process as insufficient to establish discrimination? (2) Are evidentiary objections not expressly ruled on at the time of decision on a summary judgment motion preserved for appeal? George, C.J., was absent and did not participate. Votes: Baxter, A.C.J., Kennard, Werdegar, Chin, Moreno, and Corrigan, JJ.
This one is worth following.
