In our May 6, 2014 post, we reviewed Syers Properties v. Rankin, Case No. A137610 (1st Dist., Div. 2 May 5, 2014 issued unpublished), which held among other things that: (1) detailed categorical breakout of time spent can substantiate a fee petition in California state courts; (2) the reasonable market hourly rate, not billed rate, is the true lodestar index; and (3) a trial court can, but is not required to, follow the Laffey Matrix, regionally adjusted or otherwise. We can now report that this opinion was certified for publication on May 27, 2014.
