History
In 1959 Onslow H. "Rudy" Rudolph formed a small contracting company, O.H. Rudolph, General Contractor, based out of his garage in Los Altos, California. Starting with just a small amount of savings, a pickup truck and two employees. In 1962, Kenneth G. Sletten joined the business as partner and the company was renamed Rudolph and Sletten, Inc., General and Engineering Contractors.
Due to the company’s location in Silicon Valley, it follows that its growth paralleled that of the valley. The firm built some of Silicon Valley's first clean rooms, micro-processing plants and biotech laboratories. Rudolph and Sletten has grown from a small business to a corporation with current employees numbering over 650, many of whom are second and third generation employees.
Today, Rudolph and Sletten is ranked the fifth largest contractor in California and the largest health care contractor in the state according top California Construction Magazine.[3] The Supreme Court ruling might not end the case. Rudolph & Sletten, the construction company, can return to court to argue that Nancy Ceja did not have a "good faith belief" because she allegedly had evidence the divorce may not have been final when she secured a marriage license.
But if Ceja passes that hurdle, her wrongful death case can proceed, perhaps to a Santa Clara County jury that will be asked to find Robert Ceja's employer is liable for his death.
Robert Harrison, a lawyer for the company, said it had no comment on the decision.
