Plaintiff Anthony Romero appeals a judgment entered following the trial court’s grant of judgment on the pleadings in favor of his former employer, defendant County of Kern. The issue on appeal is whether Romero’s lawsuit against the County alleging his employment was terminated in retaliation for his whistleblower activities is barred by his failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

Accordingly, we reverse the judgment.
