A Superior Court judge on Friday dismissed a sexual harassment lawsuit against former Supervisor Nathan Fletcher that shook the political landscape in San Diego two years ago.
Judge Matthew Braner dismissed the lawsuit by Grecia Figueroa, a former employee of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System.
The suit alleged Fletcher directed MTS executives to fire Figueroa after she came forward with allegations that Fletcher sexually assaulted her and was sending her explicit messages.
Fletcher, who was the face of the county’s health efforts during the pandemic, denied the allegations and said the two had a consensual relationship.
The former supervisor resigned in May 2023 and ended his campaign for state Senate.
Last week Braner dismissed Figueroa’s wrongful termination lawsuit against MTS.
Then, in a tentative ruling on Thursday, Braner recommended dismissal of the lawsuit, saying “the litany of discovery abuses perpetrated by Plaintiff in this case warrants termination of her lawsuit.”
Braner said Figueroa engaged in “rampant and willful spoilation of evidence.”
The tentative ruling was approved in a hearing on Friday.
Following the judge’s dismissal, Figueroa indicated in a statement to the press that she plans to file an appeal.
