The Supreme Court will be reviewing an opinion regarding attorney's fees in a case brought under Prison Inmate Labor Initiative of 1990 (Penal Code § 2717.1), Vasquez v. State of California (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 406.
The petition for review is GRANTED. Further action in this matter is deferred pending consideration and disposition of a related issue in Vasquez v. State of California, S143710 (see Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.512(d)(2)), or pending further order of the court. Submission of additional briefing, pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.520, is deferred pending further order of the court.
The petition for review pertains to an order affirming the award of attorneys’ fees. At issue was whether additional fees were due under the CCP § 1021.5, the private attorney general statute.
