Helmy v. Assaf
Plaintiffs Atef Helmy, Talat Radwan, and Javed Chak appeal from the judgment in a declaratory relief action over the membership and control of the board of directors of a nonprofit public benefit corporation named the Orange County Islamic Foundation (OCIF). The trial court held the letter of resignation submitted by defendant Ribhi Ghosheh was effective immediately but, pending appointment of a successor, defendant Mohannad Malas remained a member of OCIFs board even after submitting his letter of resignation. The court also determined defendants were the prevailing parties and entitled to recover their costs. Plaintiffs appeal, contending the trial court erred by finding Malas remained a director of OCIF. They also challenge the award of costs to defendants. Court conclude the judgment must be affirmed.
