Plaintiff, Zhijian Yang, is seeking a limited scope of representation solely for an upcoming mediation conference in his wrongful termination action against his previous employers. Plaintiff asserts fourteen claims for the following: violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), race discrimination under 42 U.S.C. s.1981, race and national origin discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, race and national origin discrimination under the Florida Civil Rights Act, retaliation under Florida Statutes s.448.102(3), fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and conversion. Mediation is set for August 13, 2026; Plaintiff would require assistance preparing for the mediation and representation during the mediation. Representation would cease following the conclusion of the mediation hearing but may continue should the volunteer attorney choose to do so.
