4441 REVIEW DENIED In a claim for employment discrimination on the theory of disparate impact, based on allegations that employees of the county's police department, a majority of whom were members of racial minorities, were paid less than employees of the county sheriff's department, a majority of whom were Caucasian, it was necessary for plaintiffs to show that the county's policies and procedures created a barrier that deterred plaintiffs from applying for or receiving positions in the sheriff's department; in a claim of disparate treatment based on similar allegations, it was necessary for plaintiffs to show that the county engaged in intentional discrimination; awareness that a majority of the police officers were members of racial minorities while a majority of the sheriff's deputies were Caucasian and that the sheriff's deputies received higher pay did not establish the intent to discriminate on the basis of race.CitationFRANK v COUNTY OF LA (Discrimination Evidence) 149 CA4 805 [See: GovC 12940 etseq; Heard v Lockheed 44 CA4 1735, T/AT 6/96; Knight v Hayward USD 132 CA4 121, T/AT 9/05; McDonnell Douglas v Green 411 US 792]
