Docket entry
052094 Barber v. VistaRMS, Inc. 09/15/2006 In a petition for writ of mandamus filed by a former shareholder of an employee-owned closely-held corporation, the trial court did not err in sustaining the defendant corporation's demurrer. Petitioner's ownership of stock in the corporation ceased, by operation of written agreements, upon the termination of his employment; thus, petitioner was not a shareholder and lacked standing to pursue the petition at the time of filing. The trial court's judgment sustaining the demurrer and dismissing the amended petition with prejudice is affirmed.
