Pecot v. Wong CA1/4
Plaintiffs brought this class action against the San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Association (SFDSA), the San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation (the Foundation), and four individuals, alleging they misappropriated membership dues. Defendants brought a special motion to strike six of the seven causes of action, which the trial court granted. (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16.) Defendants sought nearly $200,000 in attorney fees for their expenses in bringing the anti-SLAPP motion. (§ 425.16, subd. (c).) The trial court awarded them $20,000. On appeal, defendants contend the trial court abused its discretion in not making a larger attorney fee award. We shall affirm the order.
