Judge: Nick A. Dourbetas, Case: 2019-01100020, Date: 2022-11-04 Tentative Ruling

Motion to Strike or Tax Costs

Plaintiff Morgan Wells’ motion to strike the Memorandum of Costs filed by prevailing party Big Presence is GRANTED. 

In order to be entitled to costs in this action, Big Presence must not only show it is the prevailing party in this action, but that the claims set forth in plaintiff’s complaint are frivolous.  [Williams v. Chino Valley Independent Fire Dist., (2015) 61 Cal. 4th 97; see also Leek v. Cooper, (2011) 194 Cal. App. 4th 399]

As there is no opposition to this motion, defendant has not made the required showing. 

Moving Party to give notice.
