    OTHER:

    Dimla pleaded guilty on February 18, 2014, in Sacramento County Superior Court to a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to cheat/defraud another person of property (Penal Code §182(a)(4)). He received 120 days in jail, three years of probation and was ordered to pay restitution to the victims.

    Dimla and another man, Luis Manuel Flores, created a sham business and website with names similar to CSLB. The two allegedly contacted CSLB applicants and licensees and falsely represented themselves as CSLB employees. The victims were urged to purchase unnecessary and inaccurate license test study guides.

    Flores was arrested in February 2013 while crossing the border into the United States from Mexico. Dimla was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff's Department and transported to Sacramento County on November 20, 2013.
