Dobarro v. Kim (CA1/5 A173001 11/19/25) Labor Commissioner Appeal

Phyllis W. Cheng, Esq.

ADR Services Mediator, Former Director of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”)

November 19, 2025

The Labor Commissioner ruled against Edward Kim and his business, Queens SF, LLC (collectively “Kim”), in a labor claim filed by his former employee, Nicole Dobarro. Kim sought to appeal to the superior court, but he filed his appeal one day late. (See Lab. Code, § 98.2, subds. (a)-(b), (d).) He now challenges the superior court’s determination that his appeal was untimely, contending that the deadline should be tolled. Because his arguments lack merit, we affirm.
