Kelly v. City of Oakland , USCA 9th CA, 98-16482, Nov. 23 1999, a workplace same-sex sexual harassment case, analyzed two types of sexual harassment and reaches divergent conclusions on a single set of facts. A far-reaching application of Kelly's implications could result in a greater burden of proof for hostile environment sex harassment plaintiffs who do not have strong factual support for quid pro quo harassment.
