Aguirre vs. Davita, Inc.
Case Information
Ruling
disputed, it appears if anything, he may have clicked a stand alone “I AGREE” box and submitted that selection in Workday. (Decl. of Poinha, Ex. D).

OBJECTIONS (ROA 46): Overruled, except as to No. 3 which is sustained.

(2017) 14 Cal.App.5th 438, 444.)
