USA Aisiqi Shoes v. Huang
Plaintiff and respondent USA Aisiqi Shoes, Inc. (Aisiqi) filed a lawsuit against its employee, defendant and appellant Peter Zhuang Fei Huang (Huang). During trial, the parties reached a settlement agreement in open court and on the record, by which Huang agreed to pay Aisiqi a specified amount, and to execute a third deed of trust on his residence as security for the monetary obligation. When he defaulted on his obligations, Aisiqi brought a motion for the trial court to enter a stipulated judgment, and the court did so. As a result of Aisiqis instituting nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings, Huang paid Aisiqi the principal amount of the monetary obligation, but did not pay the attorney fees which the court had awarded as part of the stipulated judgment. Aisiqi filed a motion for an award of the attorney fees it incurred in enforcing the settlement agreement, based on the provision in the deed of trust which allows for an award of attorney fees. The trial court granted the motion. Huang appeals from the resulting order, contending there was no basis for the award of attorney fees. Court disagree and affirm the trial courts order.
