Opinion
RICHLI, J.
In an action brought under the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (POBRA) (Gov. Code, § 3300 et seq.), the trial court awarded attorney’s fees to the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association (RSA) under Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5.1 Raising an issue of first impression, the County of Riverside (County) argues on appeal that the right to attorney’s fees is provided exclusively by Government Code section 3309.5, subdivision (e), and the RSA was not entitled to a fee award under either statute. The County also challenges the amount of fees awarded.
