citation_a.sentence: See Rivera v. NIBCO, Inc., 364 F.3d 1057, 1074 (9th Cir. 2004) (discovery of immigration status denied because employer “had the opportunity to examine [that status] upon hiring and that [status was] irrelevant to the question of liability”). A reasonable jury could thus consider Ortiz’s suspicions (formed around December 2011) that Lavalle had provided false documentation to the Hotel, his suspicion that she was “most likely”, using a false social security number, and his plan to present that information at the ADU hearing to arrive at the reasonable inference that the matter was being raised for the first time in that' setting to imply that the Hotel could use the information to inflict some adverse action—as was ultimately done in Contreras, 103 F.Supp.2d at 1185; see also Rivera, 364 F.3d at 1065 (court noted that' in certain cases, “inquiry] into workers’ immigration status ... allow[s] [employers] to raise implicitly the threat' of deportation and criminal prosecution every time a worker, documented or undocumented, reports illegal practices”).
