United States District Court Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz (Southern District of California) denied Defendants' motion for an award of attorney's fees after the Defendants obtained a dismissal of plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint.  Swearingen v. Haas Automation, Inc., 2010 WL 1495204 (S.D.Cal. Apr 14, 2010).  The Court held that changes to Penal Code section 502 removed a bilateral fee provision and a claim sounding in tort was outside the attorney fee provision of a lease agreement between the parties.
