Case Number: 23STCV10564    Hearing Date: March 20, 2024    Dept: 56

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

MOVING PARTIES: Plaintiff Medallion Properties, LLC (“Plaintiff”)

RESPONDING PARTY: None

The Court has considered the moving papers.

BACKGROUND

            This is an unlawful detainer action. On November 1, 2023, judgment was entered by the Court after trial in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant Ted J. Suh (“Defendant”) in the amount of $85,214.14, consisting of $34,100 in past-due rent, $39,576.59 in holdover damages, $10,516 in attorneys’ fees, and $1,021.55 in costs.

DISCUSSION

            Plaintiff moves for attorneys’ fees in the amount of $10,516 as the prevailing party to litigation related to enforcement of a contract providing for fees.

The Court DENIES the motion as moot. As stated above, the November 1, 2023 judgment of $85,214.14 already includes $10,516 in attorney fees.

Moving party is ordered to give notice of this ruling.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SMC_DEPT56@lacourt.org as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org.  If the department does not receive an email and there are no appearances at the hearing, the motion will be placed off calendar.
