The following excerpt is from Dadah v. Mount San Jacinto Cmty. Coll. Dist., E054269 (Cal. App. 2013):
In order to give rise to a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress, the conduct must have "'been so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.' [Citation.]" (Cantu v. Resolution Trust Corp. (1992) 4 Cal.App.4th 857, 888.)
