Opinion
Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BC365770
ORDER MODIFYING OPINION [NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT]
EPSTEIN, P. J. WILLHITE, J. MANELLA, J.
It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on September 16, 2008, be modified as follows:
On page 4, footnote 5 should be changed to read as follows:
Section 2699 is part of the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA). (Labor Code, § 2698.) The cause of action for civil penalties is derivative of plaintiff’s claim that the County violated section 512. PAGA “was adopted to empower aggrieved employees, acting as private attorneys general, to seek civil penalties for Labor Code violations, penalties which previously could be assessed only by state agencies.” (Dunlap v. Superior Court (2006) 142 Cal.App.4th 330, 336.)
There is no change in the judgment.
