Raicevic v. Geraci CA4/1
Plaintiffs Vladimir Raicevic and Imelda Raicevic, individually and as trustees of their respective family trusts (together, the Raicevics), appeal an order denying their motion to add defendant Alan L. Geraci as a judgment debtor in their successful fraud action against defendants Stephen F. Lopez and the law firm of Geraci & Lopez, a general partnership (Partnership). In a prior appeal in this case, we reversed a previous order granting the Raicevics' motion to amend the judgment to add Geraci as a judgment debtor, concluding that the trial court misconstrued applicable law and did not exercise its discretion under Code of Civil Procedure section 187. We remanded the matter for an evidentiary hearing. On remand, the court conducted an evidentiary hearing on the Raicevics' motion, made specific findings of fact in its statement of decision, and denied the motion to amend the judgment to add Geraci as a judgment debtor.
