Jacobsen v. Winkler
Tyson Jacobsen appeals from an order denying his petition to compel arbitration of a wage claim filed by Stewart Winkler before the Labor Commissioner. Jacobsen initiated that petition even though he is not a party to the proceeding before the Labor Commissioner. Moreover, Advent CM, Inc., the entity which is named as defendant in the proceeding before the Labor Commissioner, is not a party to the arbitration agreement which Jacobsen asserts governs this dispute. Both of those problems were brought to the attention of the trial court, and under the circumstances, it is not surprising Jacobsen was unsuccessful below. What is surprising is that he pursued this issue on appeal, without even acknowledging the standing issues in his opening brief. The order is affirmed.
