Overview

• The court held that Fletcher had no authority over Figueroa’s employment and that MTS officials were unaware of any harassment complaints before her termination.
• With all claims against the transit agency dropped, the lawsuit now targets only former Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, who denies the allegations and is countersuing for defamation.
• Fletcher’s legal team has released private messages it says show a consensual relationship, while some key documents remain under seal to protect third-party privacy.
• Grecia Figueroa withdrew her assault and battery accusations late last year, narrowing the remaining dispute to sexual harassment and retaliation claims.
• A trial readiness conference is scheduled for August 29 followed by a jury trial set to begin on September 12 in San Diego Superior Court.
