Folkes v. Bufford
Court review this case for the third time. In 2003, Phoneisha Folkes filed a paternity action against Arthur Bufford to determine custody, visitation and child support for their daughter Miyae Bufford, born in 2002. Our first opinion rejected Buffords appeal and affirmed May 5, 2004 orders denying his motions for modification of child support and reconsideration. (Folkes v. Bufford (Jan. 5, 2005, B175903) [non-pub. opn.], modified on denial of rehearing (Feb. 1, 2005) (Folkes I).)
Now, Bufford appeals from January 31 and February 10, 2006 interlocutory orders denying his motion for discovery, awarding Folkes sanctions and attorney fees, changing the temporary visitation and custody arrangements, and setting child support. No judgment has been entered in the case and all the challenged orders relate to interlocutory rulings. Court summarily denied Buffords supersedeas petition seeking a stay pending resolution of the appeal. (Folkes v. Bufford (Jan. 24, 2007, B190336.) Bufford contends the court abused its discretion in making the orders. Because the discovery, sanctions, and temporary custody orders are not appealable, Court dismiss Buffords purported appeals from those orders. As to the attorney fees and support modification orders, Court reject his contention and affirm the orders.
