Line 2. DEFENDANT GRAMERCY TOWERS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCATION A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT MUTUAL BENEFIT CORPORATION Notice Of Motion And Motion For Attorneys' Fees is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

Defendant is not awarded any fees they ask for now for work performed in enforcing the settlement agreement. To the extent that Defendant was entitled to and was granted attorney's fees to "enforce" the agreement, Defendant does not get a second bite of the apple. Defendant could have and should have asked for all their fees to enforce the settlement agreement at that time. Defendant cites no authority that they can ask for fees now, for work performed before the original motion.

Defendant is awarded $72,557 for fees on appeal. Defendant originally sought $74,942 for fees incurred starting on March 14, 2025 through February 17, 2026. However, the fees incurred from March 14 through March 26, 2025 had nothing to do with appellate work. The Court also finds some of the fees duplicative (9/2/25, 9/15/25), or not relating to the appeal (2/11/26).

Defendant is awarded $2,277 for enforcement efforts related to the judgment, starting on February 18, 2026 through March 30, 2026. The Court finds some of the work performed did not have to do with enforcement efforts because they relate to research regarding prior lawsuits Plaintiff has filed or matters related to a potential lawsuit for malicious prosecution (2/18/26, 2/19/26, 3/12/26, 3/13/26, 3/27/26, 3/30/26). None of those tasks relate to enforcement efforts of the Judgement.

With respect to costs, Defendant is awarded $422.70 for the filing fees incurred on appeal. The Court cannot discern what other costs should be awarded and what they were for. The total amount of fees and costs awarded is $75,256.70. =(501/CFH)
