Stella v. Asset Management Consultants CA2/7
Michael Stella unsuccessfully sued Asset Management Consultants, Inc. (AMC) and its principals James Hopper and Gloria Hopper, seven limited partnerships, their general partners and various other entities and individuals Stella believed were responsible for the preparation and distribution of private placement memoranda used to solicit his investment in the limited partnerships. After judgment was entered in the trial court, the judicial referee, appointed pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 638, awarded attorney fees and costs to the defendants as prevailing parties based on sections 1032 and 1033.5 and the attorney fee provision in the limited partnership agreements involved in the litigation. We affirmed the judgment of dismissal in Stella v. Asset Management Consultants, Inc. (2017) 8 Cal.App.5th 181 (Stella I). Stella now appeals the postjudgment award of attorney fees and costs.
