Court of Appeal of California, Second District, Division One.

February 28, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harris & Ruble, Alan Harris, Los Angeles, and Abigail Treanor for Plaintiff and Appellant.

Law Offices of Gregory W. Smith and Gregory W. Smith for Defendant and Respondent.

VOGEL, J.

This was a dispute about $44.63 in unpaid overtime, which was settled for $10,500, after which the plaintiff asked the trial court for about $46,000 for his attorneys' fees. The trial court denied the motion outright, and the plaintiff now appeals on the ground that he has a statutory right to recover his reasonable fees. We agree, reverse the order, and award him $500 for his fees.
