King v. Tri-City Medical Center

This one is really more for the "interesting and sort of funny" file than for the practice hotsheet. The plaintiff checked the wrong box on her DFEH complaint, and, as a result, the Court of Appeal held that her case was dead.

While it's amazing how much a little checkbox can matter, it's also amazing how much courts can disagree. Courts have gone the other way too.
