They were: Harrassment, good faith and fair dealing, breach of an implied in fact contract, retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Court ruled there are 6 "Triable issues". They are: disability discrimination, breach of contract, age discrimination, failure to prevent discrimination, wrongful termination and fraud. The Court also ruled in favor of the defendants, Cumulus, that Ralph must take a 6 hour Mental Evaluation which is scheduled to take place on 9-6-13.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-18394252800398003982013-08-28T19:39:47.496-07:002013-08-28T19:39:47.496-07:00The only chance in hell for Barbieri is that Joe A...The only chance in hell for Barbieri is that Joe Alioto rises from the dead and represents him.
