Powers v. Emerson CA2/6
Plaintiffs William Powers, Jr., William Powers III and Lindsey Keyes appeal the trial court’s order denying their motions to strike $1,451.57 in costs requested by defendants Gary F. Nelson, individually and dba Webber-Nelson Realtors, and Ty Christensen (collectively “the Nelsons”), and $897.52 in costs requested by defendants Donald C. Jensen and Judith L. Jensen (collectively “the Jensens”). Plaintiffs contend the costs were not necessary or reasonable because the Nelsons and the Jensens failed to adequately meet and confer with plaintiffs before paying filing fees to appear in the case. Plaintiffs assert that had these defendants met and conferred with plaintiffs prior to filing their demurrers, in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure section 430.41, subdivision (a)(1), plaintiffs would have dismissed the action against them without the necessity of appearance costs. The court rejected this assertion. We affirm.
