$10,000 Out Of $28,080 Sanctions Request Granted.
In Concepcion Vinas v. Queen of the Valley Medical Center, Case No. A143541 (1st Dist., Div. 4 Oct. 20, 2016) (unpublished), attorney was sanctioned $10,000 under CCP § 128.7 for filing a second amended complaint which had the same allegations as a first amended complaint to which a demurrer had been sustained in many ways with prejudice. His appeal was unsuccessful. Filing an improper complaint can give rise to 128.7 sanctions. (Eichenbaum v. Alon, 106 Cal.App.4th 967, 971-972 (2003).) The amount was not unreasonable, given that only $10,000 out of a requested $28,080 in sanctions was imposed by the lower court.
