How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that English-language notice of denial of unemployment benefits comported with due process even where non-English speaking recipient sought translation from a friend who completely mistranslated the notice
- rejecting Spanish speaker's argument that his untimely appeal from agency's denial of unemployment benefits should be allowed because the written notice informing him of his appeal deadline was in English and had been \mistranslated\ by his friend
- unemployment insurance termination notices written only in English held constitutionally adequate, and, therefore, failure to seek timely review of termination was fatal to claim
