Doan v. Nhan Hoa Comprehensive Health Care clinic
Nhan Hoa Comprehensive Health Care Clinic, Inc., appeals from an order denying its petition to compel respondent Raymond Doan to arbitrate his employment-related claims. The trial court ruled that Nhan Hoa had failed to produce a valid arbitration agreement.
We affirm. The documents Nhan Hoa submitted to support its petition indicate that the agreement to arbitrate, part of Doan’s hiring paperwork, was a stand-alone agreement requiring execution to be binding; the company presented no evidence that Doan had ever signed the agreement. Accordingly Nhan Hoa did not carry its initial burden of showing a valid agreement to arbitrate.
