Knox et al. v. Contra Costa County et al
Case Number: 3:20-cv-01449 in the U.S. District Court
From the Law360 article written by Andrew Strickler:
“In a lengthy decision delving into bias complaints from five female prosecutors, the judge agreed that all had made a prima facie discrimination case, rejecting requests from the DA's office for summary dismissals on all but a small handful of claims. Chief Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero also concluded that the district attorney's office had improperly put "blanket" confidentiality designations on witness depositions and issued a related sanction for what he called an improper delay tactic.”
Contra Costa DA office agrees to $2.2 Million settlement
From The Mercury News article written by Nate Gartrell:
Weeks after a judge ordered sanctions against the Contra Costa District Attorney’s office for a “bad faith” tactic in a federal suit alleging gender and age discrimination against five female prosecutors, the office agreed to settle for $2.2 million, court records show. The settlement will distribute funds to five women who sued Diana Becton — the first woman to serve as DA in Contra Costa’s history — alleging she favored men for promotions and worked to “systematically” demote women. The plaintiffs alleged they were passed over promotion in favor of less experienced men, and took aim at Becton for hiring two inspectors who’d previously been accused of sexism.
