Fresno Bee: Fresno State files appeal of award in Johnson-Klein case
Fresno State is appealing the multimillion-dollar judgment from the Stacy Johnson-Klein gender-discrimination trial, but it’s far from certain whether both sides will tangle again in a courtroom.
In a one-paragraph notice filed Wednesday with Fresno County Superior Court, the university said it is appealing to the 5th District Court of Appeal a jury’s $19.1 million award to Johnson-Klein in December. Judge Donald S. Black later cut that amount to $6.6 million.
Fresno State also is appealing the reduced award and Black’s ruling on Feb. 8 to order a new trial only if Johnson-Klein chose not to accept it.
