$25,795.50 Fee Award Affirmed On Appeal.
An adequate appellate record is a necessity in modern appellate practice, not to say it did not change from being a necessity long ago. In Beck v. Yozura, Case No. B313689 (2d Dist., Div. 4 Nov. 7, 2022) (unpublished), the trial judge awarded $25,795.50 to a prevailing defendant winning a SLAPP motion. Appellant challenged this determination, although having no reporter’s transcript of the hearing and with the lower court’s order indicating that there was no real way to apportion fees between SLAPP and non-SLAPP work, as well as indicating in its order that the degree of success was considered. Given the lack of a reporter’s transcript, there was no reason to upset the fee order below in tandem with the reasoning of the lower court order.
