IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL ASMUS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

PEGASUS AVIATION SERVICES, et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 14-5418 CRB

ORDER DENYING SUMMARY

JUDGMENT

Plaintiff Paul Asmus brought this California whistleblower claim and companion

wrongful termination claim against Defendants Pegasus Aviation Services and Akima LLC. 

See Compl. (dkt. 1). Defendants have moved for summary judgment on all claims. See

Motion (dkt. 40). After reviewing the parties’ submissions and relevant authorities, and for

the reasons stated at the hearing, the Court concludes that Asmus has established genuine

disputes of material fact on both his whistleblower and wrongful termination claims. The

Court also finds a triable issue on whether Pegasus and Akima were Asmus’s joint

employers. The Court thus DENIES the motion for summary judgment on all claims.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 8, 2016
