Petitioners’ Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award came on for hearing as noticed on
Wednesday, June 1, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. in Department 302 of the San Francisco County Superior
Court. All parties were represented by counsel. After consideration of the papers filed in support
of and in opposition to the Motion, arguments of counsel, and all other evidence and matters
presented to the Court, and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
Petitioners’ Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award is DENIED. Petitioners have not shown
that there are any grounds to vacate the award. Petitioners’ failure to raise their concerns about
the asserted inattentiveness of the arbitrator during the hearing precludes them from seeking to
vacate the award on that basis. Even if they were not so precluded, Petitioners do not point to
anything in the transcripts of the hearing or any other objective evidence that the arbitrator was
inattentive or, if he was, how his inattentiveness prejudiced them in any way.
Petitioners’ failure to raise their concerns that the arbitrator assertedly requested “political
favors” from Ms. Alioto prior to the issuance of the interim award precludes them from seeking to
vacate the award on that basis. Even if they were not so precluded, Petitioners do not point to
anything in the transcripts of the hearing or any other objective evidence that the arbitrator made
the statements attributed to him or, if he did make those statements, how those statements
prejudiced them in any way.
Assuming without deciding that the standard of review set out in Pearson Dental
Supplies, Inc. v. Superior Court (2010) 48 Cal 4th 665, and Richey v. AutoNation Inc. (2015) 60
Cal.4th 909 applies to this case rather than the standard of review required by the FAA, there is
no evidence that the arbitrator’s decision was premised on a clear legal error which denied or
curtailed Petitioners’ right to be heard on their claims. The award shows that the arbitrator
understood the decision in Roby v. McKesson Corp. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 686, considered the totality
of the evidence, and found that the personnel management actions did not support a finding that
Respondents communicated a hostile message via biased personnel management actions.
Petitioners have not demonstrated that the arbitrator’s summary disposition of the harassment
claims of Petitioners Damasco, Naing and Sandoval was a clear legal error which deprived them
OHSUSA:765293047,1 -l-
of their right to have their claims heard. Petitioners also failed to show how the references in the
award to Petitioners meeting with their attorneys and filing a lawsuit affected any decision made
by the arbitrator.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
