4411 A public employee's action under the federal Civil Rights Act (i.e., 1983 claim) against a supervisor who denied his administrative grievances, based on the implication but not the actual allegation that she was motivated by gender bias, was subject to the SLAPP statute because it arose from an issue under review by an official proceeding; in opposing the SLAPP motion, the employee was required to show that the supervisor violated his civil rights; an action for violation of 42 USC 2000e, et seq., which specifically prohibits an employer from engaging in gender discrimination and sexual harassment may not be asserted against a supervisory employee.
