Abstract
This appeal challenges a judgment that followed a prior reversal and remand by this Court, with the trial judge having twice reviewed the evidence and arguments. In the end, and for reasons stated from the bench with no statement of decision, the judge found that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) violated the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) in rejecting Teresa Brown’s application to be a correctional officer based on her need to observe the Sabbath. This Court should affirm and put this decade-long dispute to an end for two independent reasons: (1) CDCR omits on appeal a transcript of the trial court’s oral ruling; and (2) the judgment is supported by implied findings and substantial evidence.
