The following excerpt is from Mendoza v. Cedars-Sinai Med. Ctr., B258540 (Cal. App. 2017):
In support of her argument that she presented sufficient evidence of harassment, Mendoza cites eight pages of the appellant's appendix. The only evidence on those eight pages that relates to Mendoza's harassment claim is her deposition testimony that (1) "[t]here was no harassment" before she went "to HR," and (2) she "can't remember" whether there were "any problems" after she "went to HR," except that (3) there was one incident in which she was on call, was called in, and on arrival was told by another nurse that she should not clock in, but (4) she does not know why the nurse told her that. A single incident of being told not to clock in, for an unknown reason, is the kind of isolated incident that cannot possibly constitute harassment. (Hughes v. Pair, supra, 46 Cal.4th at p. 1042.)
