California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from a judgment of the trial court granting summary adjudication in respondent's favor in an action alleging that respondent violated appellants' due process and equal protection rights by requiring that they pass new rigorous certifying exams in order to remain court interpreters and by allowing certain interpreters to be exclusively grandfathered in or temporarily exempted from these new certifying exams, judgment is affirmed where: 1)appellants' due process claim fails because there is no protectable property interest in being a certified interpreter; 2) appellants' equal protection cause of action cannot be established because they were not similarly situated to the exempted interpreters; and 3) appellants are not entitled to declaratory or injunctive relief.
