INTRODUCTION

Appellant John Skordoulis appeals from a judgment in favor of defendants

Fidelity National Title Co.; S.B.S. Trust Deed Network; Donald S. Albright, Jr.; Robert

S. Cuva; Mary V. Cuva; William E. Gammons; Arno W. Heckrodt; Shannon E. James;

Salvatore P. Maiorana; Lany K. Martell; Linda Miller; James Miller; Michael Gene

Moeller; Patricia L. Moeller; George W. Piercy; Juliet F. Piercy; Gordon M. Robertson;

Peggy Roth, and David Salehinia.1 The individual defendants appeal from a

postjudgment order of the court denying their motion for attorney fees from plaintiffs and

respondents Maureen A. Chodosh and Penny A. Bengert.

We affirm the trial court's judgment. However, we reverse the trial court's

postjudgment order insofar as the order denied the individual defendants attorney fees

from Chodosh and Bengert.

We will refer to the noncorporate defendants—i.e., all of the defendants except Fidelity National Title Co. and S.B.S. Trust Deed Network—as "the individual defendants."
