Mateen-Bradford v. City of Compton CA2/5
On July 13, 2020, the trial court entered a postjugment order awarding attorney fees and costs to plaintiff Kareemah Mateen-Bradford, as prevailing party against defendant City of Compton (the City) but denying a separate request for fees and costs made by real party Wesierski & Zurek. All three parties appealed from the postjudgment order.
Shortly after Wesierski & Zurek filed its opening brief, we filed an unpublished opinion in the City’s separate appeal from the underlying judgment in which we reversed the judgment in favor of plaintiff. (Bradford v. City of Compton (Oct. 28, 2021, B300491) [nonpub. opn.].) Plaintiff then filed her opening brief conceding that once our unpublished opinion reversing the judgment became final, it would moot the appeals from the attorney fees award. In response, the City filed a motion for summary reversal of the fee award and dismissal of the appeals, but it withdrew the motion after plaintiff filed her petition for review in the Supreme Court.
