What is the initial burden of making a claim for unfair dismissal?

^11. In its ruling, the trial court misallocated the initial burden. The trial court cited Harris v. City of Santa Monica (2013) 56 Cal.4th 203, 214-215 for the proposition that "a plaintiff has the initial burden to make a prima facie case of discrimination by showing that it is more likely than not that the employer has taken an adverse employment action based on a prohibited criterion." (Id. at p. 214.) The District makes similar comments in its briefing.
