The court issued an order to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution due to failure to serve the defendant within 90 days of filing the complaint.
Young Hee Park v. 17th and Wilshire, LLC
What Happened
Young Hee Park filed a lawsuit against 17th and Wilshire, LLC, claiming the employer failed to accommodate her disability as required by law. However, after filing the complaint in February 2020, Park did not serve the defendant (deliver the lawsuit papers to the employer) within the required 90-day window.
What the Court Decided
The court dismissed the case, but not because Park's underlying claim was weak. Instead, the court dismissed it because Park failed to follow the procedural rules—specifically, she didn't properly notify the employer of the lawsuit in time. The court gave her an opportunity to explain why the case shouldn't be dismissed, but ultimately ended the case.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case highlights an important lesson: even if workers have a valid discrimination claim, they must follow strict legal procedures and deadlines. Missing procedural requirements—like serving papers on time—can result in losing the case entirely, regardless of the merits. Workers should ensure their attorneys meet all filing deadlines and properly serve defendants to protect their rights.
