Dueling Appellate Sanctions Requests Were Denied Also.
In Rivas v. Dynamic Nursing Services, Inc., Case No. B337901 (2d Dist., Div. 1 Jan. 27, 2025) (unpublished), parties in an employment dispute involving common law and FEHA claims proceeded to an arbitration, with plaintiff eventually winning $30,000 on an interactive-process claim only. Later, the arbitrator awarded plaintiff attorney’s fees of $75,000 (out of a requested $384,471) and costs of $4,600 (out of a requested $8,804). Those results were affirmed on appeal based on the deference provided to arbitral awards. Also, dueling appellate sanctions requests were denied.
