Description
PELANDER, Judge. This appeal raises an issue of first impression in Arizona: whether a judicially-unreviewed administrative determination by the state personnel board upholding a state employee's demotion for cause has res judicata or collateral estoppel effect on, and therefore bars, a subsequent lawsuit claiming unlawful race and sex discrimination under the Arizona Civil Rights Act [ACRA], A.R.S. §§ 41-1461 through 1464, 41-1481 through 1484.*fn1 We hold that the state personnel board's determination that there was "cause" to discipline an employee does not preclude a separate suit under the ACRA, and vacate the trial court's order granting summary judgment in favor of the State of Arizona and its Department of Economic Security.
