Plaintiff submits the following *corrected* proposed joint statement of the case for use in jury selection. PLAINTIFF’S PROPOSED NEUTRAL JOINT STATEMENT OF CASE

4

In October 2000, Defendant County of Kern hired Plaintiff Dr. David Jadwin, a

5

pathologist, to be the Chairman of the Department of Pathology at Kern Medical Center. The

6

County employed him for seven years until October 2007.

7

Dr. Jadwin claims he suffered from severe depression for nine months from December

8

2005 to September 2006. Beginning December 2005, Dr. Jadwin went on a part-time medical

9

leave of absence for his claimed severe depression, working part-time at the hospital and doing

10

some work from home. Dr. Jadwin claims the County interfered with his medical leave by

11

ordering him onto full-time leave in April 2006. He claims he would have been able to continue

12

doing his job while recovering from his claimed depression if the County had allowed him to

13

continue the part-time work schedule and work-from-home arrangement. The County claims it

14

properly accommodated Dr. Jadwin by approving a modified work schedule. The County also

15

denies any interference and claims it approved every leave request Dr. Jadwin made.

16

The County demoted Dr. Jadwin from chair of the Department of Pathology in July 2006,

17

placed him on paid administrative leave in December 2006, and did not renew his employment

18

agreement which expired in October 2007. Dr. Jadwin claims the County did these things, as

19

well as forcing him onto full-time leave in April 2006, in discrimination against his mental

20

disability and in retaliation for his medical leaves. The County claims it did these things because

21

Dr. Jadwin was not present at the hospital and refused to return to work full-time.

22

Dr. Jadwin claims that he had a right to active duty, but that the County violated his

23

Constitutional due process rights by placing him on administrative leave for 10 months from

24

December 6, 2006 to October 4, 2007, without telling him what the charges were against him or

25

letting him respond. The County believes all of its actions toward Dr. Jadwin were legal and

26

authorized by the County’s personnel rules.

27 28

During Dr. Jadwin’s employment, disputes arose between him and members of the medical staff at Kern Medical Center. Dr. Jadwin claims those disputes arose in response to the

patient care problems at the hospital that he was complaining of. The County claims Dr. Jadwin

caused the disputes himself by his conduct towards other members of the hospital staff.

Plaintiff is requesting monetary compensation for his lost wages and benefits, emotional distress, expenses, and other relief.
