Former assistant women’s volleyball coach of the San Jose State University, Melissa Batie-Smose, filed a complaint against the California State University (CSU) system. SJSU is one of the 23 schools based in California that are part of the CSU system.
The Batie-Smose contract was not renewed when he expired in February, after being suspended from the team in the middle of the season for having filed a complaint in title IX concerning the treatment by the program of a transgender athlete of his team and a player who opposed the trans athlete.
Now Batie-Smose claims the unfair dismissal, saying that it “has suffered and continues to undergo lost wages, a loss of reputation and professional opportunity, emotional distress and other damage”.
“The actions of the defendant were voluntary, intentional and / or taken with reckless contempt for the rights protected by the applicant,” said the trial.

“Other coaches who did not oppose the inclusion of a biological man in the female volleyball team or who did not argue for the rights of female athletes, were not subject to a suspension, a dismissal or any discriminatory actions, just like the applicant.”
A spokesperson for the State University of San Jose responded to the trial.
“We are aware of the deposit and we no longer have any comments due to an in progress dispute,” the spokesman for PK Press Club Digital told.
The complaint of the title IX of Batie-Smose against the school, which it filed at the end of last October, first highlighted the allegations according to which the transgender athlete, Blaire Fleming, plotted with an opposing player for his teammate Brooke Slusser increased in front of a match.
Slusser had previously joined a legal action against the NCAA and filed another against the Mountain West conference, citing his experience in the sharing of changing spaces and hotel rooms with Fleming without being told to the birth of Fleming.
Batie-SMOOSE was then suspended in early November, while the allegations against Fleming caused an investigation by the West mountain on the situation.
Mountain West’s investigation determined that sufficient evidence could not be found, however, PK Press Club Digital later reported that the law firm hired to conduct the investigation, Willkie Farr & Gallagher (WFG), is the same company that represents the Mountain West against the Slusser trial, which also disputes the alleges against Fleming of Fleming of Fleming Fleming to have a bad damage, as shown by the public archives obtained by PK Press Club Digital.
Slusser also told PK Press Club Digital that she had a conversation with a teammate who had been interviewed as part of the WFG investigation.

“On the basis of what I have been told, exactly what one of my teammates had seen going that night – talking about the screening report and leaving the net open – was informed of these lawyers. So that should have been sufficient proof [of the alleged plan by Fleming]”Said Slusser to PK Press Club Digital, adding that she wanted to see the investigation reopened.
“People tell you that it happened, and it is not used information. She seated it and heard the conversation between Balaire and [former Colorado State volleyball player] Malaysia [Jones]. So, for me, just from what I know without even having to deeply dig into this investigation, there is enough evidence and they were told sufficient evidence. “”
WFG then deleted an online press release from November 27 from its website which announced the legal victory to keep eligible Fleming. The page is always visible via a Online archives. PK Press Club Digital asked WFG several times why the page had been deleted but did not get an answer.
Meanwhile, Batie-Smose previously declared to PK Press Club Digital what she remembered in the match of October 3 against the state of Colorado in which Fleming was accused of conspired with the opposing player Malaya Jones so that Slusser increased in the face.
“Near the end of this set [Fleming] Surpassed a service just above the net so that Malayla hits Brooke Slusser, then these two always made visual contact and made smallers at this point. But then when it happened, they both laughed and [Fleming] said: “Thank you”, and that’s when I was kissing him, “said Batie-Smose.
A few weeks after his contract was not renewed in February, the home of Batie-Smose in Scotts Valley, California, was vandalized during a shooting.
Scotts Valley The captain of the Scott Garner police department said previously to PK Press Club Digital that the police determined that the weapon used was a pellet pistol and had been investigated as an act of vandalism. The cheek had been recovered by the police. No one was injured and no suspects or reason has been determined.
Batie-SMOOSE said that she had previously received hostile emails on her position on Fleming and trans inclusion in female sports. She also claimed to have had altercations in person with individuals in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley who did not agree with her position.
“People recognize me in the community and I am in an area that is expressed and speaks to fight for female sports, I am in a region with madmen and I really think it was a target for me for having spoken,” she said.
Meanwhile, SJSU is under an invested investigation by the United States Ministry of Education for its management of the situation involving Fleming and Slusser.
