Andrew Marowitz v. Cory Dostie
IFP petition · Court of Appeal of California, First Appellate District, No. A168780, A169164 · judgment November 22, 2024
Questions presented
-
Does the Department of Fair Employment and Housing statutes regarding misgendering of a transgender room renter, when describing the individual as “She”, rather than “They” a few times in 5 years of tenancy constitute housing discrimination , or does such misgendering conflict with Constitutional First Amendment Free Speech Rights/ Protections? Does the California Appellate Case of Taking Offense v State of California carry Superseding Case Precedence? Petitioner raised this issue with the Appellate Court, as a Constitutional matter in his Appeal, which was ignored. Appellant Petitioned for Re-Hearing, which was denied. The Appellate Court ignored/ bypassed the same issue in both. The Petitioner then Petitioned for Review to the California Supreme Court, which was denied.
-
Can the Department of Fair Employment and Housing enforce their respective statutes, if such statutes lack sufficient clarity, specificity, and particularity, such that Petitioner, as landlord, to this day, has no idea what he can and cannot say,
