In plaintiff’s suit against his former employer for retaliatory termination, judgment pursuant to a jury’s verdict in favor of defendant and denial of plaintiff’s motion for a new trial is affirmed where: 1) the trial court did not err in excluding evidence of plaintiff’s alleged disability as he failed to make known to the court the purpose and relevance of the evidence to any other issue; and 2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that a proposed settlement agreement fell within Evidence Code section 1152’s broad scope.
