How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • reasoning that California law only requires the employer to provide a meal 13 period and does not impose liability “for a failure to ensure that an employee actually availed 14 herself of the meal period”
  • denying class certification where the plaintiffs theory was that “stores were too busy to give employees a meaningful opportunity to take breaks” as to prove the claim would require “an individual inquiry into each store, each shift, each employee”
  • “it is apparent that plaintiff 7 has failed to identify any theory of liability that presents a common question.”
  • “Cicairos is not persuasive authority for the proposition that employers must ensure that their employees take meal breaks and this Court is not bound by the court of appeals’ decision.”
