A California appeals court judge had little sympathy for the state of California last week, affirming $307,000 in attorney fees for a woman who had been granted nearly $1.5 million in fees earlier in the case over enforcement of a ballot measure concerning prison inmate wages. Justice Judith McConnell agreed with the trial court that the state has "taken a scorched-earth, drag-your-feet ... approach to the litigation where it has fought tooth and nail to avoid doing what it voluntarily agreed to do."

California Court of Appeal Justice Judith McConnell had little sympathy for the state of California last week, affirming $307,000 in attorney fees for a woman who had been granted nearly $1.5 million in fees earlier in the same case.
McConnell, of San Diego’s 4th District Court of Appeal, made it clear in a ruling released Aug. 22 that state officials had no one but themselves to blame for the big financial hit.
