`IV CHRONOLOGY OF FACTS
`
`5.
`
`Employers must never treat employees differently just because of their race to protect
`
`employees,
`
`like us all,
`
`from emotional
`
`traumas and financial
`
`losses
`
`from illegal
`
`discrimination.

`like us all,
`
`from emotional
`
`traumas and financial
`
`losses from illegal
`
`discrimination.
`
`7.
`
`Employers must prevent job retaliation against employees who, in good faith, oppose and
`
`report
`
`illegal
`
`racial discrimination at work to protect employees,
`
`like us all,
`
`from

`
`9.
`
`emotional trauma and financial losses due to job terminations.
`
`Defendant Empower Behavioral Health, LLC is an employer.
`
`Employer EBH must never treat employees differently just because of their race to protect
`
`employees,
`
`like us all,
`
`from emotional
`
`traumas and financial
`
`losses from illegal
`
`discrimination.
`
`10.
`
`Employer EBH must prevent racial discrimination and harassment in the workplace to
`
`protect employees,
`
`like us all, from emotional traumas and financial
`
`losses from illegal
`
`discrimination.
`
`11.
`
`Employer EBH must prevent job retaliation against employees who, in good faith, oppose
`
`and report illegal racial discrimination at work to protect employees,
`
`like us all, from
`
`emotional trauma and financial losses due to job terminations.
`
`12.
`
`On August 2020, Employer EBH hires an Employee as a Board Certified Behavior
`
`Analyst in Employer EBH's El Paso clinic.
`
`13.
`
`The Employee is Hispanic/Mexican-American.
`
`Page 2 of 8
`
`

`

`Case 3:21-cv-00209-FM Document 1-3 Filed 09/08/21 Page 5 of 16
`
`14.
`
`On or about October 2020, Employer EBH terminates its Clinical Director for Employer
`
`EBH's El Paso clinic, does not replace the Clinical Director, and the Employee begins
`
`performing the Clinical Director's duties.
`
`15.
`
`Employer EBH has the Employee work directly with Employer EBH's students - special
`
`needs children with autism — and their families.
`
`16.
`
`Employer EBH chooses to not provide the Employee with a company cell phone,
`
`requiring the Employee to use her personal cell phone to communicate with the families
`
`of Employer EBH's special needs autistic students.
`
`17.
`
`Employer EBH is aware the Employee communicates with the families of Employer
`
`EBH's special needs autistic students daily through her personal cell phone.
`
`18.
`
`On February 2021, due to the the Employee's good performance, Employer EBH raises
`
`the Employee's salary by $10,000.00.
`
`19.
`
`On March 202 1 , Employer EBH hires Bianca Sanchez, whom is Caucasian, as a Board
`
`Certified Behavior Analyst.
`
`20.
`
`Beginning in March 202 1 , and continuing through July 202 1 , Employer EBH's Behavior
`
`Analyst Bianca Sanchez makes racist statements directed at Hispanics and Mexican-
`
`Americans, including:
`
`a.
`
`"You guys [Employee and other employees] have really heavy accents."
`
`b. Complaining that "all the menus in El Paso are in Spanish."
`
`c. Complaining because the Employee and other employees sometimes play
`"Spanish" music.
`
`d. Excoriating the Employee and others because they sometimes speak Spanish,
`including times when Employee and others speak Spanish to communicate with
`parents and special needs children whom only speak Spanish.
`
`e. Telling the Employee -- in regards to a Hispanic/Mexican-American special
`needs autistic student — "take the child out of the sun before he gets darker."
`
`Page 3 of 8
`
`

`

`Case 3:21-cv-00209-FM Document 1-3 Filed 09/08/21 Page 6 of 16
`
`f. Complaining that her children will get beat up in El Paso schools, where the
`student population is primarily Hispanic/Mexican-American.
`
`21.
`
`In April 2021, Employer EBH's Human Resources Department receives the
`
`Employee's good faith complaint of racial discrimination that Bianca
`
`Sanchez' comments and actions,
`
`inter alia described above, are
`
`discriminatory statements against Employee, and other employees, as well
`
`as EBH clients and their children.
`
`22.
`
`Employer EBH does not take action to prevent Bianca Sanchez from making racist,
`
`racially discriminatory statements or to prevent racial discrimination in the workplace.
`
`23.
`
`Rather, Employer EBH's Behavior Analyst Bianca Sanchez continues to make racist and
`
`discriminatory statements in the workplace.
`
`24.
`
`On July 2 1 , 202 1 , Employer EBH's Behavior Analyst Bianca Sanchez asks Employee
`
`about why other employees seem not to like her (Sanchez) and Employee responds by
`
`reporting to her that the racist and discriminatory statements she (Sanchez) makes are off-
`
`putting and then, in opposition to Sanchez' continuing racially discriminatory actions and
`
`statements, Employee tells her (Sanchez) that she (Sanchez) should stop making them.
`
`25.
`
`On July 26, 2021, Employer EBH's Human Resources Director Erin Gierlowski and
`
`Supervisor Emily Treadway retaliate against Employee by terminating the Employee,
`
`telling the Employee she acted unprofessionally by reporting, complaining about, and
`
`opposing racial discrimination in the workplace.
`
`26.
`
`Evidently, Employer EBH considers it unprofessional
`
`to report, oppose and complain
`
`about
`
`racial discrimination in the workplace or
`
`to speak the truth about
`
`racial
`
`discrimination in the workplace.
`
`27.
`
`Employer EBH is aware terminating the Employee jeopardizes the treatment of its special
`
`Page 4 of 8
`
`

`

`Case 3:21-cv-00209-FM Document 1-3 Filed 09/08/21 Page 7 of 16
`
`needs autistic students, as children with autism have severe difficulty dealing with change,
`
`and it takes a BGBA months of working with autistic students to develop a working
`
`relationship with them.
`
`28.
`
`Employer EBH is aware the Employee has a professional responsibility to contact the
`
`families of her special needs autistic students to explain that the Employee will not arrive
`
`to work with their children that day, as the families expect to see and work with the
`
`Employee that day.
`
`29.
`
`Employer EBH receives notice the Employee tells the families of Employer EBH's special
`
`needs autistic students to not interrupt the students' treatment with Employer EBH.
`
`30.
`
`In addition,
`
`that same day, July 26, 2021, Employer EBH further retaliates against
`
`Employee for engaging in protected conduct under the law — Employee's reporting about,
`
`complaining against and opposing racial discrimination in the work place — by directing
`
`its law firm, Branscomb Law, and attorney Keith B. Sieczkowski to send a retaliatory
`
`letter to the Employee, falsely accusing the Employee of defamation, tortious interference,
`
`and unspecified violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
`
`("HIPAA").
`
`31.
`
`Incredibly, in the retaliatory letter, which Employer EBH directs Branscomb Law and
`
`Keith B. Sieczkowski
`
`to send to the Employee, Employer EBH threatens to sue the
`
`Employee if she does not agree to prepare written statements retracting her truthful
`
`reports and complaints of racial discrimination in the workplace.
`
`32.
`
`That Employee is Mirelle Devenney.

`Analyst Bianca Sanchez, Human Resources Director Erin Gierlowski, and Supervisor
`
`Emily Treadway,
`
`intentionally and knowingly discriminated against and harassed
`
`Employee Devenney, a United States citizen, merely because of her race, in violation of
`
`42 U.S.C. §1981.

`
`racial
`
`discrimination and harassment of Employee Devenney.
`

`
`35.
`
`As described above, Employer EBH, by and through its agents,

`
`Emily Treadway, intentionally and knowingly retaliated against and harassed Employee
`
`Devenney, in violation of 42 U.S.C. §1981, merely because she reported, opposed and
`
`witnessed racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
`
`36.
`
`Thus, Employer EBH sponsored, encouraged and condoned its agents' retaliation and
`
`harassment of Employee Devenney.
`
