DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER TO PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
INTRODIiJCTION
DJN
Plaintiff J.R., an individual, by and through her guardian ad litem, STEVEN RUGGIERO,
(“Plaintiff”) fails to plead facts t0 support her contention that Defendants CLOVIS UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT and MONICA CASTILLO (“the District”, “Castillo”, or together,
“Defendants”) are liable for the alleged, intentional acts of a student, identified as “Josh” in
\OOOQQU'I-h
Plaintiff’s Complaint. Plaintiff’s misguided assertions attempt to place the District and its
employees as the liable parties for her alleged sexual batteries; however, Plaintiff falls short ofbeing
able to craft a viable claim for relief against Defendants for Sexual Battery, as “Josh” was the alleged
10 batterer, not any named Defendant; violations of the Bane Act, as none of her Constitutional rights
11 were infringed and no coercion or threat of force was used against her by any Defendant; Gender
12 Violence, as neither Defendant is the “responsible party” for Plaintiff’s alleged sexual battery;
l3 and/or Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, as the allegations against the Defendants rise no
14 higher than an action for negligence. Moreover, as a matter of law, Defendants are not liable for
15 damages under Califomia’s Unruh Act as ruled in Brennan B. v. Superior Court (Contra Costa)
16 (2020) 57 Cal.App.5th 367, 271 Cal.Rptr.3d 320. Therefore, Defendants request that this Court
17 dismiss the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Causes of Action with prejudice without leave
18 to amend.
19 II.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
20
21 Plaintiff was a special education student with Defendant CUSD in 2018 (Complaint, 5:17
22 attached as Exhibit A to the Declaration of S. Nicole Tucker, hereinafter “Complaint”.) During
23 November of 2018, Plaintiff alleges that she was sexually assaulted on while on campus by another
24 student, identified as “Josh”, when “Josh” led her to bushes on campus. (Complaint, 8:19-25.) After
25 finding the students leaving the bushes, Defendant Castillo conducted an investigation into the
26 incident and found that the acts which occurred in the bushes were mutually voluntary and Plaintiff
27 was suspended from school. (Complaint 13 :4-8.) Following this incident, some fourteen months later,
28 in January of2020, Plaintiff alleges that the was once against sexually molested by “Josh” on campus
2
DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER TO PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
during the school day. (Complaint, 1613-5.) Plaintiff reported both incidents to the District and both
were investigated. (Complaint, 13:4—8, 16:6-9.) Plaintiff then filed this present lawsuit on or about
November 13, 2020, seeking damages related to the alleged incidents and the damages allegedly
flowing from the actions of “Josh”.
Defendants’ counsel met and conferred with Plaintiff’s counsel regarding the claims in the
\OOOQONLII-wafl
First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Causes of Action, informing Counsel that none of the actions
alleged in the Complaint meet the high standard required under the law, that the parties named in the
suit were not the party that allegedly sexually battered Plaintiff, and that as a matter of law,
Defendants are not liable under the Unruh Act. Defendants’ counsel had a person to person meet and
confer over these issues with Plaintiff’s counsel and Plaintiff’s counsel disagreed with Defendants’
position, claiming that Plaintiff had plead sufficient facts. Unable to reach an agreement, Defendants
filed this present motion, for a demurrer as to Plaintiff’s First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth
Causes of Action without leave to amend.
III.
LAW AND ARGUMENT
A. Legal Standard For Demurrer
NNMNMNNNN—nu—nn—nt—nr—tn—nu—In—nu—np—A
Code of Civil Procedure § 430. 1 O authorizes a party to object by way ofdemurrer to a pleading
when, among other things, the pleading “does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action.”
(C.C.P. § 430.10(e).) A party may demur to the whole complaint or any causes of action stated
A general
OOQQM-PUJNF‘OOOOVONMAWNHO
therein. (Code Civ. Proc. §430.50.) demurrer tests the legal sufficiency of a plaintiff’s
factual allegations. (Boyle v. City ofRedondo Beach (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1109, 1114 n2.) As a
result, while a court must accept as true “all material facts properly pleaded,” the court need not
accept the truth of plaintiff’s “contentions, deductions, or conclusions of fact or law.” (1d.) Further,
when the specific factual allegations in a pleading are inconsistent with the general allegations or
factual conclusions in that same pleading — the specific allegations control. (See Wood v. Elling Corp.
(1 977) 20 Cal.3d 355, 365 n.8; Alfaro v. Community Housing Improvement System & Planning Assn,
Inc. (2009) 171 Cal.App.4th 1356, 1371.) When construing the factual allegations of a complaint,
the court is to “give the complaint a reasonable interpretation, reading it as a whole and its parts in
3
DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER TO PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
their context.” (Evans v. City ofBerkeley (2006) 38 Ca1.4th 1, 6 [citing Blank v. Kirwan (1985) 39
Cal.3d 31 1, 318].)
B. Plaintiff Explicitly Identifies “Josh” As Her Alleged Sexual Batterer, And
Therefore, This Court Should Grant Defendant’s Demurrer To Plaintiff’s First
Cause Of Action With Prejudice.
In her First Cause of Action, Plaintiff asserts that Defendants CUSD and Castillo are liable
\OOOQQUIAUJNH
for sexual battery. The legal standard for a cause of action for sexual battery requires the plaintiff to
show 1) the defendant intended to cause or caused an imminent fear ofa harmful or offensive contact
with plaintiff’s sexual organ and a sexually offensive contact resulted, 2) plaintiff did not consent
to the contact; and 3) plaintiff was harmed or offended by the defendant’s conduct. (Cal. Civ. Code
§ 1708.5; CACI 1360.) In her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that “Josh,” a student and not a named
party to this action, “committed the act of civil sexual battery in violation of Civil Code § 1708.5
when he willfillly, maliciously, intentionally, and without J.R.’s consent subjected her to the acts
mentioned above.” (Complaint, 8: 1 9, 19: 1 8-20.) Despite the fact that Plaintiff identifies her alleged
perpetrator in her Complaint, she is attempting t0 recover damages from Defendant CUSD and
Defendant Castillo as batterers for the intentional actions of another person who Plaintiff admits is
individual who allegedly battered her.
NNNNNNNNNo—II—It—lr—In—tr—In—In—n—nfl
Plaintiff attempts to artfully craft an argument to create liability for Defendants for the
actions of a student on their campus; however, Plaintiff widely misses the margin. First, Plaintiff
makes the outlandish claim that when “Josh” alleged sexually battered Plaintiff, he was doing so as
OOQQU’I-PUJN—‘OOOOQGMAUJN—‘O
an agent of Defendant CUSD and Defendant Castillo. However, there is no agency relationship
created between a school district and its students. By definition, “an agent represents another,
called the principal, in dealings with third persons.” (Cal. Civ. Code §2295; Store ofHappiness v.
Carmona & Allen (1957) 152 C.A.2d 266, 269, 312 P.2d 1104; see also 3 Witkin, Summary 11th
Agency § 2 (2020).) As alleged, “Josh” was a student with Defendant CUSD the same as Plaintiff;
the same as Plaintiff, “Josh” was required to be on campus under Califomia’s compulsory education
laws. (Cal. Ed. Code §48200 et seq.) Clearly, “Josh’s” presence on campus was not for purposes of
representing Defendant CUSD or Defendant Castillo and the purpose of the alleged relationship
between Defendant CUSD and “Josh” was for his education as required by law and not for any
4
DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER To PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
dealings with third parties. Therefore, no such agency relationship existed at the time of the alleged
incident between “Josh” and Defendants CUSD and/or Castillo. As “Josh” was not an agent of either
Defendant at the time of the alleged abuse, Defendants cannot ratify “Josh’s” conduct, as Plaintiff
has alleged. (Complaint 21 :22.) As such, Plaintiffs argument fails.
Plaintiff turns then to Education Code §220 to attempt to create liability against the District
\OOOQONMAQJNH
and its employee for the intentional tortious actions of a student on campus. Education Code § 220
states that no student shall be subjected to discrimination on campus on the basis of any protected
trait, including gender and disability. This section creates independent liability against a publicly
funded local educational agency (“LEA”) where the LEA, not one 0f its agents, commits
misconduct that is so “severe, pervasive, and offensive” that the student was “effectively
deprived. .of the right of equal access to educational benefits and opportunities.” (Donovan, et al
. v.
Poway Unified School District, et al (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 567, 579, 602 84 Cal.Rptr.3d 285, 293,
310-31 1.) Education Code § 220 is completely inapplicable to this student on student assault case
for two reasons: first, Education Code § 220 is its own separate claim for damages, not a bridge for
Plaintiff to utilize in order to reach a completely separate cause of action, and second, Plaintiff
admits that the alleged sexual battery was committed by “Josh,” not the LEA, and attempts t0
NNNNNNNNNv—nr—AH—nn—nn—In—Ir—In—no—n
establish liability through the principal—agent relationship. (C.N., et a1 v. Wolf et al, (CD. Cal. 2005)
410 F.Supp.2d.) Even if “Josh” was acting as Defendants’ agent at the time of the alleged incident,
which as already discussed above “Josh” was not, it is well established that Education Code § 220
OOHQM-hUJN'HOOOOVQMhWNHO
cannot be established through an agency relationship. (Donovan, supra, 167 Cal.App.4th at 605,
“The Education Code's antidiscrimination provisions contain no similar reference to agency
principles. .”.) Furthermore, as previously stated, there is
. no agency relationship created between a
school district and its students. Therefore, Plaintiff’s use of Education Code § 220 to attempt to
establish liability against Defendants for a cause of action for sexual battery allegedly committed
by a student is inappropriate and misguided under the law.
Next, Plaintiff cites to Education Code § 201 in an attempt to find valid footing to support
her claim that Defendants should be held liable under Civil Code § 1708.5, which is equally
inapplicable to this case. Education Code § 201 provides that “A11 pupils have the right to participate
5
DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER TO PLATNTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
fully in the education process, free from discrimination” and states that “Califomia’s public schools
have an affirmative obligation to combat” the various forms of harassment that could occur on public
school campuses across the State. (Cal. Ed. Code § 201(a-b).) However, like § 220 discussed above,
Education Code § 201 is an independent cause of action under California Law. (C.N., et al v. Wolf
\OOOQO\M-bWN'-‘
et a1, supra, (C.D. Cal. 2005) 41 0 F.Supp.2d.; Hector F. v. El Centro Elementary School Dist. (App.
4 Dis. 2014) 173 Cal.Rptr.3d 413, 227 App.4th 33 1; Roe v. Rialto Unified School District (C.D. Cal.
2020) 2020 WL 3978065.) Like Education Code § 220, § 201 applies when a school district fails to
implement the proper procedures to protect students from harassment; but it is limited to its own
cause of action. (Id.) Education code section cannot be used as a legal basis to enforce a battery by
a student as a basis for tort liability to the District on a separate battery theory.
Civil Code § 1708.5 imposes liability against aperson who commits a sexual battery against
another person. Plaintiff does not allege that Defendant Castillo sexually battered Plaintiff. Plaintiff
does not allege that Defendant CUSD, a government agency, sexually battered her. Plaintiff alleges
that “Josh” sexually battered her. As such, Plaintiff cannot assert a cause of cation under Civil Code
§1708.5 against either Defendant. As there can be no liable battery theory asserted against
Defendants, there should be no leave to amend.

With Prejudice.
WNQM$WNHO©WNQUI¥WNHO
In her Fifth Cause of Action, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants are liable under the Bane Act
for her alleged injuries. The Bane Act, provided at Civil Code § 52.1, is violated when 1) by use of
threats, intimidation, or coercion, a defendant caused a plaintiff to reasonably believe that if she
exercised her right, defendant would commit violence against her or her property and that defendant
had the apparent ability to carry out the threats; 2) defendant intended to deprive plaintiff of her
enj oyment of her rights and the interests therein protected; 3) that plaintiff was harmed; and that 4)
defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s harm. (Cal. Civ. Code § 52.1;
CACI 3066.) “[T]o state a cause of action under § 52.1 there must first be violence or intimidation
by threat of violence.” (Gabrielle A. v. County 0f0range (2017) 10, Cal.App.5th 1268, 1290, 217
6
DEFENDANTS’ DEMURRER TO PLATNTIFFS’ COMPLAINT
Cal.Rptr.3d 275.) “The Legislature enacted section 52.1 t0 stem a tide of hate crimes.” (Jones
v. Kmart Corp. (1 998) 17 Cal.4th 329, 338, 70 Cal.Rptr.2d 844, internal citations omitted, emphasis
added.) “[S]ection 52.1 does require an attempted or complete act of interference with a completed
act of interference with a legal right, accompanies by a form of coercion.” (Jones, supra, 17 Cal.4th.
\OOOVONM-meu—n
at 334, 70 Cal.Rptr.2d 844.) “The statutory framework of section 52.1 indicates that the
Legislature meant the statute to address interference with constitutional rights involving more
egregious conduct than mere negligence.” (Shoyoye v. County 0f Los Angeles (2021) 203
Cal.App.4th 947, 959, 137 Cal.Rptr.3d 839, emphasis added.)
Plaintiff’s cause of action under the Bane Act fails for two reasons. First, Plaintiff fails to
assert a Constitutional right that was infringed upon. The Bane Act looks to protect a plaintiff’s
constitutional right when they have been infringed upon by use of force or coercion. (See Venegas
v. County of Los Angeles (2004) 32 Cal.4th 820, 11 Cal.Rptr.3d 692 [unreasonable detention,
unlawful search and seizure]; Monzon v. City 0f Murrieta (9th Cir. 2020) 978 F.3d 1150, 2020
D.A.R. 11,554 [violation of right to life by use of deadly force in a motor vehicle theft].) In her
Complaint, Plaintiff does not allege any such right was violated. Plaintiff provides a laundry list of
statutes to support her claim that Defendants owe her a duty under the law and place an obligation
on Defendants to provide Plaintiff with an education “free from physical violence or threats of
NNNNNNNNN—I—n—In—Iflflwu—au—‘H
violence and/or injury.” (Complaint 26:3-4.) However, nowhere therein does Plaintiff assert that
OOQQMAWNHOOOOQQM-hLNNHO
Defendants have in any way curtailed her from asserting a constitutional right. As it is unclear what
constitutional right Plaintiff claims was ever infringed, she has failed to plea
