v. TOKIO MARINE AND NICHIDO FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY et al., Defendants and Respondents.
APPEALS from an amended judgment and orders of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Richard E. Rico, Judge. Reversed. McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth LLP, James P. Wagoner, Geni K. Krogstad, and Lejf E. Knutson for Plaintiff and Appellant. Gordon & Rees LLP, Jeffrey A. Swedo and Stephanie Alexander for Defendants and Respondents.
1 National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburg, Pa (National Union) appeals the attorney fees awarded to Tokio Marine and Nichido Fire Insurance Company (Tokio Marine) following the entry of judgment in favor of Tokio Marine in the captioned superior court case. This court reversed that judgment on February 4, 2015, as modified on March 5, 2015. Consequently, we reverse the trial court’s order awarding attorney fees.
DISPOSITION The amended judgment and attorney fee award are reversed. Because these consolidated appeals were not decided on their merits, the parties are to bear their own costs on appeal. (See Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.278.)
