Opinion
MIHARA, J.
— Petitioner Susan Mooney seeks writ relief from the order of respondent Santa Cruz County Superior Court (the court) requiring her to pay real party in interest Paul A. Mooney’s attorney’s fees in connection with her motion for a settled statement under California Rules of Court, rule 8.137.1 She asserts that the court violated rule 8.137 and abused its discretion in awarding attorney’s fees. We find that the court abused its discretion in failing to rule on Susan’s motion and in awarding attorney’s fees. We therefore issue a peremptory writ of mandate.
