SLAPP: $40,000 SLAPP Fee Award Was Affirmed Because Lack Of A Reporter’s Transcript Impeded Review Of The Fee Amount

Besides, The Fee Request Was $52,215, So The Lower Court Did Exercise Discretion.

In Obiora v. PWxyz, LLC, Case No. B349757 (2d Dist., Div. 3 July 20, 2026) (unpublished), after a SLAPP grant, an attorney’s fees award of $40,000 was awarded to the prevailing party, although the total request was $52,215.  The appellate court affirmed, because the lack of a reporter’s transcript of the fee hearing made it impossible to conclude there was an abuse of discretion.
