Galleria Plus, Inc. v. Hanmi Bank

Opinion

EPSTEIN, P. J.

Appellant David D. Kim & Associates appeals from an order directing payment of monetary sanctions to respondent Hanmi Bank pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 128.7. Among other arguments, appellant contends that respondent failed to provide required notice of its motion for sanctions. We agree—respondent’s notice of its motion for sanctions did not meet the requirements of sections 128.7, subdivision (c)(1) and 1010. The award of sanctions therefore must be reversed. We need not and do not address appellant’s other arguments.
