Curry

MILLER Acting P.J.

*292 Plaintiff and appellant Sadie M. Curry brought a class action case against defendant and respondent Equilon Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Shell Oil Products US (Shell). Curry's causes of action included (1) failure to pay overtime compensation; (2) failure to pay for *293 missed break periods; and (3) unfair business practices ( Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 ).
