Pacheco v. Tuttle CA2/3
Defendant and appellant Greg Tuttle (Tuttle) appeals orders denying his motions for attorney fees after he successfully opposed requests for civil harassment restraining orders that were sought by plaintiffs and respondents Richard Pacheco (Pacheco), Manuel Lozano (Lozano), and Monica Garcia (Garcia) (collectively, Plaintiffs).
Tuttle contends the trial court erred in refusing to award him attorney fees pursuant to either the anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) statute (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16), or pursuant to the civil harassment statute (§ 527.6).
We find no error and affirm. The record reflects Tuttle did not request attorney fees pursuant to section 425.16; therefore, he cannot assert any error in that regard. Further, the trial court refused to award Tuttle any attorney fees under section 527.6 on the ground his request for $94,934 was excessive; Tuttle has not shown the trial court abused its discretion in doing so.
