Peterson v. Remington College-Denver Campus, Inc.
Plaintiff Terrance Peterson appeals from summary judgments in favor of his former employer, Remington College-Denver Campus, Inc. (Remington), and former supervisors Jose Cisneros and Lennor Johnson, on his complaint alleging wrongful termination in violation of public policy (Tameny v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (1980) 27 Cal.3d 167 (Tameny)) and other causes of action. During the litigation, Peterson purported to accept Remington's Code of Civil Procedure[1]section 998 offer to compromise, but Remington rejected Peterson's acceptance and the trial court denied Peterson's motion to enter judgment on the offer. The trial court thereafter granted summary judgments in part on grounds Peterson had not shown his termination resulted from activity protected by an established or well known constitutional provision, statute, or government regulation, and Peterson's discovery admissions established the truth of defendants' assertedly defamatory statements. Court affirm the judgment.
