1524 REVIEW GRANTED An employer's good faith belief that one of its supervisors assaulted a subordinate employee on a customer's premises is a sufficient non-discriminatory reason to defeat an action for race discrimination based on termination of the supervisor; if the plaintiff is unable to raise a triable issue of fact concerning the employer's good faith belief, the employer may be entitled to summary judgment.CitationHICKS v PACIFIC BELL (Supervisory Assault) 52 CA4 692 [See: Lane v Hughes 51 CA4 1601, T/AT 2/97; McDonnell Douglas v Green 411 US 792; USC v Superior Court 222 CA3 1028]
