#25-328 Resendiz v. Canyon Restaurant, Ltd., S293166. (B342091; nonpublished opinion; Santa Barbara County Superior Court; 24CV00190.) Petition for review after the Court of Appeal affirmed an order denying a motion to compel arbitration in a civil action. The court ordered briefing in Neubecker and Resendiz deferred pending decision in Leeper v. Shipt, Inc., S289305 (#25-91), which presents the following issues: (1) Does every Private Attorneys General Act (Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.) (PAGA) action necessarily include both individual and non-individual PAGA claims, regardless of whether the complaint specifically alleges individual claims? (2) Can a plaintiff choose to bring only a non-individual PAGA action?

Petition for review granted; briefing deferred: 11/12/2025

Dismissal order filed: 2/11/2026

“In light of the parties’ notification that the case has settled, and upon their joint request, review in the above-entitled matter is dismissed. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.528(b).) The Court of Appeal is directed to remand the case to the trial court for consideration of settlement approval.”
