Levengood v. Transfuel, Inc.
Ohio Supreme Court · Decided December 31, 1996 · Award, Douglas, Requested, Resnick
77 Ohio St. 3d 1504; 673 N.E.2d 923

Levengood v. Transfuel, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

Tuscarawas App. Nos. 95AP060050 and 95AP060049. On objections to submission of fees and costs. The court, having considered appellee’s fee application, grants fees in the amount of $2,000. This fee award reflects the court’s skepticism as to the reasonableness of thirty-five hours of a partner’s time plus twenty-nine hours of an associate’s time for preparation of a thirteen-page memorandum opposing jurisdiction — particularly because appellee pointed to the repetitive nature of this appeal as a justification to impose sanctions.

Douglas and Resnick, JJ., dissent and would award the attorney fees requested.
