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.
