  • The dismissal of a putative class action by way of a motion to compel arbitration.
  • The dismissal of a PAGA action based on Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
  • The successful demurrer to a putative class action under California Business & Professions Code based on California's claim splitting doctrine.
