Espinoza v. East West Bank CA2/5
Plaintiff, Christina Espinoza, appeals from an August 25, 2015 order denying her class certification motion in a wage and hour case. Plaintiff brought the action against defendant, East West Bank, on behalf of herself and other assistant branch managers. Plaintiff contends the trial court erred by relying on declarations from 22 current assistant branch managers submitted by defendant. Plaintiff asserts the declarations should have been excluded because they were obtained in violation of rule 3-600(D) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. In addition, plaintiff argues the declarations are unreliable because they were not translated into Chinese. Plaintiff asserts the declarations should have been translated for those declarants who required an interpreter during their deposition. We conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in relying on these declarations.
