Player v. County of Los Angeles
This appeal concerns an order imposing monetary sanctions under Code of Civil Procedure section 177.5 in the amounts of $1,100 and $1,500 on counsel for the defendant in a wrongful death action. The trial court found that attorney Davida Frieman (Frieman) violated an in limine order excluding all evidence of the decedent’s arrests, convictions, and incarcerations without first obtaining the court’s approval, and that Frieman’s supervising attorney, Rickey Ivie (Ivie), knowingly violated the order.
The record discloses no abuse of discretion by the trial court. We therefore affirm the monetary sanctions order.
