America, Inc. 30-2025- 01502337-CU- BC-CJC 9 Nguyen vs. JJD Motion to Fix Attorney Fees Development Defendants J.J.D. Development, LLC; Andrew Chu; and LLC Sunny Realty & Management, Inc.’s Motion for Attorney 30-2023- Fees is GRANTED in the reduced amount of $50,462.50. 01321270-CU- BC-CJC Defendants were the prevailing parties. (ROA 139.)

Defendants are entitled to attorney fees pursuant to the lease which provides for fees in any “action or proceeding involving the Premises whether founded in tort, contract or equity ....” (Rothman Decl., Ex. A, § 31.) The clause is broad and, thus, applies to noncontract claims as well. (See Reyes v. Beneficial State Bank (2022) 76 Cal.App.5th 596, 618.)

After careful consideration of all papers and its own files and knowledge of fees in the community, the Court finds the hourly rate of $550 per hour to be within the reasonable range.

The Court reduces the claimed fees by 8.5 hours for work related to the writ which is not part of this proceeding. Defendants’ citation to Rey v. Madera Unified School Dist. (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 1223, 1243, does not support their contention they may recover fees for separate proceedings. After review of the billing records attached, the Court finds all other entries to be reasonably incurred and not excessive. Plaintiff’s generalized requests for reductions are denied. Therefore, the Court, in its discretion, finds $50,462.50 for 91.75 hours to be reasonable.

Clerk to give notice.
