1 57. In anticipation ofthese interviews,KACHIRISKY engaged in customarily proper preparation <br /> 2 <br /> for these interviews(i.e.,he received interview coaching during his days off from a job interview specialist; <br /> 3 <br /> 4 conducted"mock" interviews with CITY supervisors who provided him with constructive criticism, etc.). <br /> 5 58. KACHIRISKY completed the Practical Exercise panel interview. KACHIRISKY then <br /> 6 completed the Enhanced Resume Assessment Interview with Lieutenants Sergio Enriquez and Sandra Gatt <br /> 7 <br /> and Sergeant Sergio Gutierrez.As Valentin decided who sat on these interview panels,the panels consisted <br /> 8 <br /> 9 entirely of those from "the Valentin camp" ( i.e., Enriquez was considered highly incompetent by many <br /> 10 department members but had risen in rank solely due to his complete loyalty and subservience to Valentin). <br /> 11 59. KACHIRISKY completed the interviews and answered according to the unwritten"formula" <br /> 12 <br /> required to pass. A 5-day grievance period was provided for both interviews. KACHIRISKY was notified <br /> 13 <br /> 14 a week later that he failed the Enhanced Resume Assessment by purportedly failing three of the four <br /> 15 dimensions and that he was eliminated from the testing process. The testing process continued for other <br /> 16 candidates who successfully made the eligibility list and were later promoted to Sergeant. KACHIRISKY <br /> 17 <br /> had outranked several of these candidates in the Corporal testing process or had considerably more <br /> 18 <br /> 19 experience as a police officer and Corporal. <br /> 20 60. It became common discussion throughout the police department: (1)that Enriquez was the <br /> 21 primary determinant of who passed and failed on the Enhanced Resume Assessment interview;and(2)that <br /> 22 <br /> Enriquez deliberately failed KACHIRISKY in direct support of Valentin's desires due to KACHIRISKY's <br /> 23 <br /> 24 association with the POA/Serrano and the POA's/Serrano's ongoing attempts to hold Valentin and his <br /> 25 supporters accountable for their acts. <br /> 26 61. KACHIRISKY and other candidates who had been failed by Enriquez in this part of the <br /> 27 <br /> testing process spoke directly with Enriquez in the aftermath of the testing process. <br /> 28 <br /> 15 <br /> KACAIRISKY v.
