Dean v. Brizuela

OPINION

VIGIL, Judge.

{1} This case involves attorney fees under the Unfair Trade Practices Act (UPA), NMSA 1978, Sections 57-12-1 to -22 (1967, as amended through 2009). Plaintiff was successful on certain claims brought against Defendant, but not the UPA claim. The metropolitan court (trial court) judge ruled that Defendant was only entitled to attorney fees incurred in defending the UPA claim. Since Defendant did not identify what portion of his fee was attributable to defending the UPA claim, the trial court judge ruled that Defendant was not entitled to any attorney fees. We affirm.
