In Sada v. Robert F. Kennedy Medical Center (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 138, the plaintiff was a registered nurse who worked on a temporary basis at a hospital as an independent contractor. When the hospital had openings for full-time employees, the plaintiff applied, and interviewed, but was not hired. The plaintiff thereafter filed a complaint against the hospital alleging she had been the victim of a discriminatory nonhiring. The evidence in the case, submitted in the context of a summary judgment motion, showed that during the plaintiff's interview she was complimented on her job performance during her tenure working for the hospital as a temp, before being asked, "Where are you from?" and "How come you don't have an accent?" and "Why don't you just go back to Mexico and work there?" When the nurse started to explain that the only work she had found in Mexico had been missionary work, the interviewer interrupted and said, "We're going to have to end this." (Id. at p. 145.)
