Fu

DISCUSSION

Fu and Qu filed a negligence action against APM, the facts of which are not relevant to this appeal. APM filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which the trial court granted on April 12, 2024. Fu and Qu appealed that judgment. While that appeal was pending, APM filed a motion for attorney fees, which the trial court granted on November 25, 2024. This appeal challenges that award. However, on September 12, 2025, we reversed the underlying judgment with directions to permit Fu and Qu to file an amended complaint. (Fu v. Action Property Management, Inc. (Sept. 12, 2025, G064126) [nonpub. opn.].) “An order awarding attorney fees “‘falls with a reversal of the judgment on which it is based.”’” (Gunther v. Alaska Airlines, Inc. (2021) 72 Cal.App.5th 334, 358.) Because we reversed the underlying judgment, the associated award for attorney fees must, also, be reversed.
