Filed 6/25/10 CERTIFIED FOR PUBLICATION IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION EIGHT JOSE MAZON MARTINEZ et al., B214955 Plaintiffs and Appellants, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. Nos. JCCP-4292/GIC873813) v. ORDER MODIFYING OPINION AND DENYING PETITIONS FOR REHEARING [No Change in Judgment] FORD MOTOR COMPANY et al., Defendants and Respondents. GOOD CAUSE appearing, the opinion filed May 27, 2010, in the above entitled matter is hereby modified as follows: 1. On page 4, delete footnote 3. 2. On page 3, line 8, after the sentence that ends in Campos and Andres Esparza Hernandez, add new footnote 3 as follows: The complaint was in English prepared by English speakers and the original death certificates were in Spanish prepared by Spanish speakers. Presumably reflecting different cultural practices in the United States and Mexico in use of mother s and father s surnames in naming a child, slight differences exist in the decedents and plaintiffs names in the complaint and death certificates. Out of fidelity to the record, we state the names throughout our opinion as they appear in their respective documents. The parties have not argued those differences were material or confused them. No change in judgment. The petitions for rehearing by respondents Ford Motor Company and Cooper Tire & Rubber Company are denied. BIGELOW, P. J. RUBIN, J. FLIER, J.
