Taheri Law Group v. Sorokurs
Movant and appellant Taheri Law Group (Taheri), former counsel for defendant and respondent Alexander Sorokurs and Alexander Sorokurs, Inc. (Sorokurs), appeals an order denying Taheris motion to intervene in an action, Samvalian v. Sorokurs (L.A. Super. Ct. No. EC037740). Taheri sought to intervene in order to bring a motion to vacate a global settlement in the action, on the ground the settlement failed to protect Taheris right to attorney fees.
The record reflects Taheri failed to seek intervention in a timely manner. Despite being aware of a pending motion by Sorokurs to enforce a settlement agreement (Code Civ. Proc., 664.6), Taheri did not attempt to intervene at that juncture in order to object to enforcement of the settlement. It was only after the trial court granted the motion to enforce the settlement that Taheri sought leave to intervene, in order to bring a motion to vacate the settlement.
Accordingly, the order denying Taheris intervention motion is affirmed.
