Fernandez v. Krabbe
Appellant Roosevelt A. Fernandes filed consolidated actions against respondents Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and Kurt and Linda Krabbe (Krabbe) after being terminated from SCEs employment. The trial court entered summary judgments for respondents and appellant appeals.
Among other things, appellant contends the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to SCE because there are triable issues of fact as to the nature of his employment, whether SCE had good cause to terminate his employment and whether SCE promised to buy his preemployment patents. Appellant further contends that the trial court committed reversible error in denying his motion for new trial based on SCEs alleged suppression of several documents that appellant had created. Appellant claims the court erred in granting summary judgment to Krabbe because damages were not an element of his claim for defamation, truth was not a defense, and the court applied an erroneous standard for causation. Appellant additionally contends the trial court reversibly erred in denying mandatory relief from the summary judgments due to his attorneys mistake, inadvertence, or neglect and his motion for reconsideration. Finding no error, Court affirm.
