Congratulations to Cory Hurwitz Lindsay Bowden and Andrew Pletcher, Esq. on their published opinion in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal. We are proud to represent a staff psychologist for a federal prison who was targeted by a corrections officer who operated an Instagram account followed by prison employees which posted sexually offensive content about the psychologist and their work place. When the psychologist complained about the page to prison management, they told her the page was “funny” and “not a problem.” The case was on appeal from a lower court ruling that held that because the offensive content occurred outside of the workplace, the Plaintiff could not bring her claims. In the Opinion, Justice Kim McLane Wardlaw wrote, “We also reject the notion that only conduct that occurs inside the physical workplace can be actionable, especially in light of the ubiquity of social media and the ready use of it to harass and bully both inside and outside of the physical workplace.” This Opinion will have widespread impact on future hostile work environment claims all throughout the state of California. #9thcircuit #appeal #opinion #brockandgonzales

Doesn't matter where the content is posted. It's still posted and it still does damage regardless. Great job securing this monumental appeal.
