In Ingraham v. Alameda County, C01-1209, three African-American men — Joseph Ingraham, Carl Montgomery and Andrew Walker Jr. — allege that Gaskill repeatedly tapped white men for senior posts.

The three filed suit in March 2001, but a June decision by the high court — which was argued by Oakland plaintiffs attorney Pamela Price — hobbled the case by taking away the Ingraham plaintiffs’ ability to sue the county about incidents that happened in 1996 and 1999.
