California Court of Appeal

No abuse of discretion in trial court's denial of request, by income beneficiary of testamentary trust, for a third continuance of hearing on trustees' petition for an accounting (in order to conduct discovery), where beneficiary had not filed any response or objections to contest the proceeding; because argument regarding right to discovery was not frivolous, request for attorneys fees rejected.
