during the events giving rise to this lawsuit, although they were divorced at
the time of trial.

              FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
A.    The Swap Meet
      FISM operates an indoor swap meet in the city of Fontana (the Swap
Meet), consisting of a collection of approximately 75 businesses operating
under one roof in individually assigned spaces provided to them by FISM
under the terms of a vendor’s permit that FISM enters into with each
business on an annual basis. Shapiro is the president of FISM, and Ramirez
worked as a security guard at the Swap Meet during the relevant time
period. FISM does not own the building in which the Swap Meet is located,
but instead leases it from a landlord.
      Among the businesses in the Swap Meet are shoe stores, clothing
stores, a pet store, a tattoo parlor, an optometrist, and a snack bar. Since it
opened in 1992, the Swap Meet has dedicated an approximate 400 square foot
area (space H-2) for use as a beauty salon business. According to Shapiro,
when a beauty salon was first established in space H-2, FISM installed sinks
and a water heater. There were two sinks on the wall and one in a cabinet
that was connected to the wall.
