A decision is still pending in Four Seasons Apartments LLC lawsuit against former manager Alisha Hammond.
Apartment management filed a lawsuit against Hammond last year, alleging Hammond stole around $84,000 while she managed the complex. Current management also says it was “compelled to file this action” after Lyon County prosecutors declined to press charges. Four Seasons attorneys say Hammond has “conveniently ignored” certain statute of limitations matters that apply to this case — also saying Hammond was “absolutely an employee at law” at Four Seasons even though she did not sign an employment contract specifically with Four Seasons.
Hammond, meanwhile, filed for summary judgment in May, saying she was let go from her position in 2020 because she did not agree with Eucalyptus owner Lew McGinnis’ business practices and that he asked her to wear unspecified “degrading outfits” while at work. She also says McGinnis accused her of taking money from the business, which she denied. She also says the Four Seasons lawsuit was filed after a statute of limitations expired, meaning summary judgment is an appropriate course of action.
Judge Jeff Larson is still reviewing paperwork in the case. There is currently no hearing date set on the Kansas Judicial Branch Case Search website.
