UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

NATHALIE THUY VAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

LANGUAGE LINE, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-CV-03791-LHK 

ORDER RE: AMENDED 

PRELIMINARY JURY INSTRUCTION 

NO. 13

The Court has amended Preliminary Jury Instruction No. 13 in two ways. First, the Court 

has included additional stipulations of fact agreed to by the parties. See ECF No. 332 at 17 

(Plaintiff’s proposed additional stipulations of fact); ECF No. 329 at 5 (Defendant’s agreement to 

two stipulations). Specifically, the Court has included a stipulation stating that Plaintiff Nathalie 

Thuy Van (“Plaintiff”) has been an employee of Defendant Language Line, LLC (“Defendant”) 

since 1995, and a stipulation stating that Defendant is a corporation doing business in Monterey, 

California.

Second, given that Plaintiff no longer agrees on the number of meal and rest period 

violations, the Court has altered Preliminary Jury Instruction No. 13 to make clear that the number 

of violations was determined by the Court.
