13. 25CV04160 CORREA, RICARDO v. GENERAL MOTORS LLC EVENT: Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses Plaintiff’s counsel has the burden of showing that the fees were allowable, reasonably necessary to the conduct of the litigation, and reasonable in amount. See, Morris v. Hyundai Motor Am. (2019) 41 Cal.App.5th 24, 34, as modified (Oct. 11, 2019), rev. denied (Jan. 2, 2020) [internal quotations and citations omitted]. The Court finds that Plaintiff has done so here and the Court awards attorney’s fees in the amount of $13,455, which the Court deems reasonable.

In regard to the requested costs, the Court finds that Plaintiff has provided a breakdown and explanation as to the requested costs and has provided sufficient substantiation for such costs. As such, costs are awarded to Plaintiff in the amount of $647.08. Counsel for the Plaintiff shall submit a revised form of order consistent with this ruling within two weeks.

14. 26CV02704 FRANK LEWIS AS DIRECTOR/SECRETARY GOLDEN BEAVER DISTILLERY IN ET AL v. KRIS KOENIG AS CEO GBD INC ET AL EVENT: Order to Show Cause re: Temporary Restraining Order The Court finds that Plaintiffs have not established a basis for reversing or modifying the Court’s prior July 31, 2026 interim ruling or imposing broader restrictions. The Court confirms its prior order as follows: 1) Defendants are authorized to complete the pending equipment sale totaling $66,000, including the $33,000 wire transfer and execution of the related promissory note; 2) Defendants are authorized to complete the pending equipment sale totaling $4,000; 3) All proceeds are to be deposited into a separate account; and 4) The proceeds are only to be used for payment of secured debt obligations, State and Federal payroll taxes, trade creditors, and ordinary expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

The Court intends to vacate the Temporary Restraining Order but will hear from counsel and the parties regarding the production of the company’s records as ordered on July 27, 2026. The Court is in receipt of Plaintiffs’ late filed reply. (The reply was due by 4:00pm August 7) There appears to be no proof of service indicating the reply was served on Defendants. In any event, because the reply goes well beyond the initially requested relief, the Court is not considering the matters requested in the reply at this time.
