Valenzuela v. Unified Western Grocers CA2/4
Plaintiff Jesus Raymon Valenzuela appeals from the summary judgment entered against him and in favor of defendants Unified Grocers, Inc., Certified Grocers of California, Ltd., Unified Grocers (collectively, Unified), and Tim Lucchino (erroneously sued as Tim Lichino), and the denial of his motion for a new trial. He contends the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because there were disputed issues of fact precluding summary adjudication of his claims for disability discrimination under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900, et. seq.), retaliation for taking leave under the California Moore-Brown-Roberti Family Rights Act (CFRA) (Gov. Code, § 12945.1, et seq.), and wrongful termination. He also contends the trial court abused its discretion by excluding evidence of defendants’ conduct prior to a settlement agreement Valenzuela entered into with United in which he released all claims related to his employment with United.
