Case Number: 19STCP00416    Hearing Date: December 22, 2022    Dept: 34

On November 28, 2022, the Court of Appeal issued its remitter in this action, reducing the attorney's fees awarded by this Court to Defendant by $38,115.00.  The Court of Appeal stated:

 

“The trial court’s orders are affirmed as modified in conformity with this opinion. Specifically, the award of costs to Tarbell is affirmed, and the award of attorney fees to Tarbell is modified to strike a total of $38,115 (representing $14,715 Tarbell incurred unrelated to plaintiff’s second appeal and $23,400 Tarbell  incurred unrelated to enforcing the judgment). The parties are to bear their own costs on appeal.”

 

        In conformance with the decision of the Court of Appeal, this Court therefore reduces its previous attorney's fees award issued on November 16, 2021 by $38,115.00.  The Court modifies its orders of November 16, 2021 and November 21, 2021 to grant attorney's fees and costs from Plaintiff to Defendant in the amount of $26,489.30.
