Facts

Leigh-Ellen Yarbrough, as guardian of minors Thomas Yarbrough, Jonathan Yarbrough, and Nicolas Yarbrough and the minors, through their guardian, sued the City of South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Sports & Entertainment, Stan Sherer, and Chris Cefalu.

Contentions

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiffs alleged that the city, which operated the Ice Rink Arena, banned Leigh-Ellen fromthe Ice Rink after reporting a sex offender's presence in the Arena. As a result, she was prevented from obtaining employment there and the ban also deprived her children of ice-skating lessons, competitions and other Ice Rink-related activities. Consequently, plaintiffs were forced to move out of South Lake Tahoe.

Result

The parties reached a $4,500 settlement.
