Former City of Eureka and Eureka Police Department employee Ashley Nieman filed a lawsuit against City of Eureka on 11/5/25. Payroll records and an EPD post show Ms. Nieman worked in the records department and confirm the 16 years mentioned on page 1 of the lawsuit.
A notice and summons has been sent out from Humboldt Superior Court to City of Eureka.
Nieman is represented by Mr. Alan Jay Reinach of the from the Church State Council, Westlake Village, California. From his bio on the website, "is a civil rights lawyer and Seventh-day Adventist minister who has served as President of the Church State Council, the education, advocacy and legal services ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the western United States, since 1994."
Allegations are religious discrimination and retaliation.
On P.1, Nieman states "her sincere beliefs came into direct conflict with" City of Eureka's vaccine mandate
On P.2 Nieman told the City of Eureka "she could not take the vaccines because they had been tested and/or developed using fetal cells from aborted babies."
On P. 5 and 6, it states Nieman "referenced five discrete Bible texts" and Exodus 20:13; Psalm 139 13-16 and Jeremiah 1:5 are mentioned.
On P. 7. it states Nieman was willing to wear a mask and have regular testing.
Nieman is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
A Case Management Conference is scheduled for 5/8/26.
I am not including the entire complaint nor am I including all the pages referenced.
