REID, Associate Judge:
Appellant Maria Esteves appeals from decisions and orders of the trial court which (1) on the day of trial, allowed her counsel to withdraw from representing her with respect to a fraud complaint against her former husband, (2) denied her a continuance of the trial, and (3) imposed discovery and Rule 11 sanctions on her but not on her attorney. She also complains that the court violated her due process rights by not asking if she needed an interpreter. We affirm in part, and vacate and remand in part.
