Description
Petitioner seeks certiorari review of orders below denying summary judgment and dismissal. This claim was initially brought by respondent, Roger L. Vincent ["Vincent"], against petitioner, Continental Baking Company ["Continental"] on theories of employment discrimination based on age and handicap. After the suit was removed to federal court, Vincent sought leave to add a third count to join a non-diverse defendant. The added defendant was Jim Puigdomenech ["Puigdomenech"], a regional sales manager for Continental. The claim is entitled "Negligent Misrepresentation." In essence, it alleges that during the course of Vincents employment at Continental, he "orally" applied for the position of account executive in a meeting with Puigdomenech, which application was "accepted" in that Puigdomenech promised Vincent the position of account executive when it became available upon the retirement of the individual who then held the position. This promise was allegedly a "misrepresentation" that Puigdomenech "knew or should have known" was false. It allegedly induced Vincent to continue working, which "aggravated his handicapped condition." Four months later, Puigdomenech was transferred. Vincent was not offered the account executive position, and his employment with Continental subsequently ended.
