California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from post-judgment orders awarding Section 1021.5 attorney fees to defendants following plaintiff's unsuccessful complaint for alleged misuse of public funds, orders are affirmed where an award of attorney fees to a government defendant does not require a finding that the failed litigation falls within the "sham" exception to the Noerr-Pennington doctrine.
