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.
