The former Women’s Volleyball Assistant Coach of the State University of San José, Melissa Batie-Smoose, has filed a lawsuit against the Board of Trustees of the State University of California (CSU). SJSU is one of the 23 California -based schools that are part of the CSU system.
The Batie-Smoose contract was not renewed when it expired in February, after being suspended from the team in the middle of the season for presenting a complaint of title IX about the management of a transgender athlete program on her team and a player who opposed the Trans athlete.
Now, Batie-Smoose alleges an unfair termination, claiming that “suffered and continues to suffer lost wages, loss of reputation and professional opportunity, emotional anguish and other damages.”
“The actions of the accused were intentional, intentional and/or taken with a reckless contempt for the rights protected by the federal federal,” says the lawsuit.

“Other coaches who did not oppose the inclusion of a biological man in the female volleyball team or who did not advocate for the rights of female athletes, were not subjected to suspension, termination or discriminatory actions such as demanding.”
A spokesman from the San José State University responded to the lawsuit.
“We are aware of the presentation and we have no more comments, due to a pending litigation,” spokesman told Pak Gazette Digital.
The complaint of the Batie-Smoose title IX against the school, which he presented at the end of last October, presented accusations that the transgender athlete, Blaire Fleming, conspired with an opposite player for his teammate Brooke Slusser to shoot in the face for a game.
Slusser previously joined a lawsuit against NCAA and presented another against the Mountain West conference, citing his experience of being made to share changing spaces and hotel rooms with Fleming without telling him the birth sex of Fleming.
Batie-Smoose was suspended in early November, while the accusations against Fleming caused an investigation by Mountain West in the situation.
Mountain West’s investigation determined that sufficient evidence could not be found, however, Pak Gazette Digital reported that the law firm hired to carry out the investigation, Willkie Farar and Gallagher (WFG), is the same company that represents the west mountain against the demand of Slusser, which also contains the accusations against Fleming of conspira of Slusser Darmed, as observed in the Public records obtained by Fox news.
Slusser also told Pak Gazette Digital who had a conversation with a teammate who was interviewed as part of WFG’s investigation.

“Based on what they told me, exactly what one of my teammates had seen that night, about talking about the exploration report and leaving the network open, it was told to those lawyers. So, that should have been enough evidence [of the alleged plan by Fleming]”Slusser told Pak Gazette Digital, adding that he wants the investigation to be reopened.
“People tell you that this happened, and it is not second -hand information. He sat there and heard the conversation between Blaire and [former Colorado State volleyball player] Malaya [Jones]. So, for me, just because of what I know without even having to deepen this research, there is sufficient evidence, and they were told enough evidence. ”
WFG then eliminated an online press release on November 27 from its website that announced the legal victory to keep Fleming eligible. The page can still be seen through a Online file. Pak Gazette Digital has asked WFG several times why the page was eliminated, but has not received an answer.
Meanwhile, Batie-Smoose previously told Pak Gazette Digital what he recalled during the October 3 game against the state of Colorado in which Fleming was accused of conspiring with the opposite player Malaya Jones so that Slusser shot in the face.
“Near that set was when [Fleming] It exceeded a fair service at the top of the network so that Malayla hit Brooke Slusser, and then those two were always making visual contact and smiling until that moment. But then, when that happened, they both laughed and [Fleming] He said: ‘Thank you’, and that was when Blaire did a kiss, “Batie-Smoose claimed.
Weeks after his contract was not renewed in February, Batie-Smoose’s house in Scotts Valley, California, was destroyed in a shooting.
Scotts Valley The Captain of the Police Department, Scott Garner, previously told Pak Gazette Digital that the officers determined that the weapon used was a pistol of pellets, and was investigated as an act of vandalism. The pellet had been recovered by the police. No one was damaged and no suspect was determined.
Batie-Smoose said that he previously received hostile emails about his posture about Fleming and trans inclusion in women’s sports. He also claimed to have had altercations in person with individuals in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley who did not agree with their position.
“People recognize me in the community and I am in an area that is talking and talking to fight for women’s sports, I am in an area with some crazy people and I definitely think it was a goal to speak,” he said.
Meanwhile, SJSU is under an ongoing investigation by the United States Department of Education for its management of the situation involving Fleming and Slusser.
