Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Cogburn partially denies a condominium owners association’s motion for summary judgment following allegations of race discrimination brought by a Black female condo owner. The association also filed counterclaims for breach of contract and a declaratory judgment enforcing fines for the owner’s alleged violations of the agreement between the parties. After the owner was raped in her condo, she had a Ring Peephole Camera installed on the exterior of her door. While serving as vice president of the association's board, the owner was subject to harassment from multiple board members including fines for her camera installation, sexual propositions, and one member saying “You can’t reason with Black women.” Someone also anonymously left a bag of gummies in the shape of male genitalia with the note, “Eat a bag of dicks.” The owner also reports that other white residents in violation of altering their exterior doors were not subject to harassment and complaints. Because there are genuine issues of disputed facts in this case, summary judgment is not awarded. Also, until a jury determines whether the owner was subject to race discrimination, the association’s claims for breach of contract and summary judgment cannot be resolved.
