No. B124489.

89 Cal.Rptr.2d 634 (2000)

75 Cal.App.4th 946

Beverly SANCHEZ et al., Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. BAY SHORES MEDICAL GROUP et al., Defendants and Appellants.

Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Five.

Review Denied January 19, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Schmid & Voiles and Suzanne De Rosa, Los Angeles, for Defendants and Appellants.

Appell & Wolf, Mervyn H. Wolf and Kelii D. Burritt for Plaintiffs and Respondents.

GRIGNON, J.

Plaintiffs prevailing in a medical malpractice action were awarded the fees of their medical experts as an item of costs. Because, in a medical malpractice action, fees of medical expert witnesses not ordered by the court are not statutorily authorized as an item of costs, the trial court had no authority to award those fees as costs. We modify the cost award and otherwise affirm the order.
