Involvement in Tellez v. Dole

Dole Food was shown to have continued to use the sterility causing pesticide DBCP in its Nicaraguan banana plantation after it was banned in the US. In a jury trial, six plaintiffs were slated to be awarded damages amounting to more than two million dollars. However, in July 2010, the court dismissed the case, having concluded that the lawsuits reflected fraudulent efforts by American and Nicaraguan attorneys to recruit bogus plantation workers to serve as plaintiffs. The court rejected allegations that Dole paid witnesses to obtain testimony of fraud against the plaintiffs.

Dominguez was criminally investigated for his potential role in the fraud. For this reason, two of his later cases were dismissed by the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Due to this alleged involvement, Dominguez was under investigation by the State Bar of California and the U.S. Department of Justice.

No criminal charges were filed against Dominguez, and on March 1, 2011, Dominguez received a letter from the State Bar of California stating that the "allegations of professional misconduct" do not "warrant further action." The letter also states that the decision is "without prejudice" to the case being reopened at a later date,.
