$63,945 Fee Request Rebuffed By Both Trial and Appellate Courts.
In Bonome v. City of Riverside, Case No. E065880 (4th Dist., Div. 2 Oct. 11, 2017) (unpublished), plaintiff—a Riverside Police Officer—won a writ of mandate proceeding agreeing he was entitled to a good cause hearing to determine if he was honorably retired and entitled to a Carry Concealed Weapon endorsement. He then sought to recover $63,945 in private attorney general fees. The trial court denied the request, which was affirmed on appeal. The appellate court, as was the trial judge, was not convinced this impacted a large class of persons giving the narrowness of the issue determined in plaintiff’s favor.
