Kurapati v. Adde CA2/1
The trial court granted plaintiff Rani Kurapati’s motion for summary adjudication of four causes of action asserted against defendant Yosef Adde. After Kurapati dismissed the remaining causes of action, the court entered judgment for Kurapati in the amount of $140,030, representing $40,030 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages.
Adde contends that the award of punitive damages must be reversed because it is unsupported by evidence of his financial condition. Kurapati does not dispute this point, and we agree. We therefore reverse the award of punitive damages and direct the court to enter an amended judgment in the amount of $40,030.
