Marmolejo v. Fitness Intl., LLC CA4/2
Gloria Marmolejo sued her former employer, L.A. Fitness International, LLC (L.A. Fitness), for wrongful termination and related claims, after she was fired from a janitorial position she had held for about five years. L.A. Fitness moved to compel arbitration based on an agreement to arbitrate Marmolejo had signed when she submitted her employment application, as a condition to being considered for the job. The trial court granted the motion, the arbitrator ultimately dismissed the action with prejudice, and the trial court entered judgment in favor of L.A. Fitness.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court properly granted the motion to compel arbitration. Marmolejo argues L.A. Fitness failed to prove an arbitration agreement existed and that even if it did, it is unenforceable because she did not understand it and its terms are overly oppressive. We conclude these arguments lack merit and the trial court properly granted the motion to compel.
