After obtaining key concessions at claimant’s deposition, obtained dismissal of all claims with prejudice in exchange for a waiver of fees and costs. Claimant also stipulated to dismissal of the related state court proceeding because he was not “aggrieved” within the meaning of Labor Code section 2699(c) and, therefore, lacked standing to act as a PAGA representative.
