Not So Appealing
In Kashani v. Rochman, Case Nos. B226060/B231915 (2d Dist., Div. 4 Feb. 21, 2013) (unpublished), the trial court denied a fee motion without prejudice, finding it should be deferred until a further resolution in the matter. The fee applicants appealed, but the appeal was dismissed. The reason? The trial court simply postponed a ruling, such that there was no real final order that could be appealed from. (Gibson v. Savings & Loan Comm’r, 6 Cal.App.3d 269, 272 (1970); Estate of Keuthan, 268 Cal.App.2d 177, 180 (1968).)
