thank you justices this is a not in a recent case both the circuit and other circuits have held so we are in a sick leave payroll practice setting i don't believe there's any argument of ninety six she was actually paid by i b m i b m paychecks for those payroll periods from ninety seven through one i b m and not typically processed her claim in ninety nine as well as in anyway the point is rogers when i went to some guys when the most argument we were making was over the question of we're beyond that and when it comes down to what inferences can a summary judgment setting one must have if you're paid by someone if you're entitled to it because you found out the second time through that you got it and there was no change no argument of any change in any other there is no argument to change they say it's changed what you want it couldn't have changed because from the moment she became an employee which preda more but that's only because she was in sales what she did was it basically a commission based work and we know that because her commissions went from ninety one thousand nine hundred six from fifty two all the way to ninety eight to seven hundred  to their argument that typically people were paid different where were handled differently for employment purposes and the people who had been with i b m a long  put a very fine point on this here i don't believe that that fine point is evidenced by the quote that your honor just read my mind if reasonable minds can differ overt so be it but i don't believe that's really doesn't get us there what gets us there is what she must now change from  recalled to the court that i came in this case a secondary counsel there had been a contract case urged here because the date for amendment and i tried to amend our complaint was beyond the court order but i was still within the statute that i brought the tort action separately and those are in my judgment and i believe it is supported by california case law which i burgeon the very separate rights to be  honor that's my specialty in law and all deference to the court we have cases like california that although it is a head piper toward the specific findings of our supreme court most recently in the i'm going to get it wrong with our supreme court of flying again or over scallion or one of those by our supreme court last six months continue to reassert that we are a hybrid court it does not depend on the contract right you can stand alone and some  ploy and we can see that she was the only question is whether i b m had promised her made an offer to her to provide her with an average of commissions for her disability leave and the burden was on the plaintiff to produce that evidence and the plaintiff has failed and in fact i b m has produced evidence showing clearly that at this time there was a transitional phase were these that the tivoli division was transitioning over to m decided on its own to up that from sixty percent to one hundred percent of base pay and i believe that was the earliest recorded communication to her unfortunately we don't know what was in the documents that were provided to her  your honour's correct that she doesn't remember what was provided to or and i do want to focus in on this representation that's been made that exhibit five which is the sickness and accident plan which incorporates after commissions for a leave they claim that was given to her on the day she was friend in april two thousand and one had told her about the sickness and accident plan and i asked her was that the first time you had heard that the studies that thirty six month average was a part of an i v a benefit plan and her answer was yes so two thousand one page twenty i believe and i have read those and what's being discussed there is obviously a package that she says was regarding her medical insurance and that she filled up those forms and turned those in and i questioned her several times about whether or not there was a disability plan that she could remember and that she said no so i think it's very clear here questions about the race to the heart of questions which are intriguing and complicated and certainly are apply california standards confess to not having focused on what federal the federal law would have been for on this appeal we did brief that in our outreach to the core we were arguing that federal case law would bar this kind of claims of living whether or not there was a final decision  i want to emphasize the procedural posture here plans counsel said that you know he tried to amend after he had transferred out of the case and in fact he'd been on the case several months and not amended that's clear on the record  and he he moved to amend and that issue was fully briefed and the district court denied claiming that it was untimely and there was no excuse for it sometime this and it was after that they filed the subsequent action federal law i just don't see how it gets round under federal rules you can't bring those actions up in another action you should've brought it in the action that you had if it's the california primary rights theory of the primary right at issue here is clearly her right to certain deprived of something which do you do not have a right to have i just don't see how that happens i believe it would bar i mean the court's findings are pretty specific that there was no representation to her that she was entitled to an average of commission for disability leave and in a plan as a sort of argued this case frank way that she had a contractual rights of these benefits but they concealed it from her well that doesn't make sense you have a contract that necessarily rest representations made promises made and you can't hide those promises so i don't see how the tort claims survive the court's summary judgment on the contract like i don't know from the questions i you says she was giving the booklet describing that they will practice which provided it in the context that they will practice starts with a sick leave an accident come on and started three six seven and it says what's covered your salary her expectation was and that's the basis for the position that it had been an i b m salary for this entire time period that she had worked there and in the record as you can see from some of the colloquy in the e mails that perceived this in the just right before this in the going to sort of record even the management there in i b m had no idea that there was some alleged difference between one year and another in the context in in personnel
