Malabed-Verona v. Hollaway CA2/4
Appellant Gloria Jean Malabed-Verona filed this action for injuries arising out of a car accident. Respondent Craig Hollaway conceded liability. After trial on the issues of causation and damages, the jury returned a $10,000 verdict in favor of appellant. However, following an award of costs for respondent under Code of Civil Procedure section 998, the trial court entered judgment for $9,179.83 in favor of respondent.
On appeal, appellant challenges some of the trial court’s discovery-related rulings and argues that misconduct by respondent’s counsel and bias by the court deprived her of a fair trial. Appellant also claims that the court’s award of costs under section 998 was improper. We affirm.
