Line 3 24CV444866 Itria Ventures Plaintiff Itria Ventures LLC’s motion for attorney fees and costs against LLC v. Anthony defendant Anthony Murga, Jr. Notice is proper and the motion is Murga, Jr. unopposed.
The parties signed a settlement agreement in 2024, under which defendant and other entities agreed to pay plaintiff $310,000. (Exh. A to Takenouchi dec. ISO fee motion, ¶ 1(a).) That agreement has an attorney fee clause. (Id., ¶ 9.) Plaintiff sued defendant to enforce the agreement. The court granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in August 2025.
Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorney fees under the settlement agreement. (Civ. Code, § 1717.) Plaintiff requests $11,902.50 in attorney and paralegal fees, consisting of 42.4 hours of attorney time and 0.8 hours of paralegal time. The court finds that time reasonably spent, based on its review of the chart summarizing attorney work attached as exhibit 1 to the Takenouchi declaration. The court further finds the attorneys’ rates, which range from $275 to $300 per hour, to be well within the range of attorney fee rates for attorneys with similar experience.
