Clifford v. American Drug Stores8/22/2005 d refers generally to her requests for fees and costs and provides block page references to 124 pages that support her contention that they were "vigorously opposed by defendant, requiring an extensive response." Once again, Clifford has failed to summarize the particular circumstances or to make appropriate references to the record. (See Bernard v. Hartford Fire Insurance Co., supra, 226 Cal.App.3d at p. 1205.) She has thus failed to show that a reduction in her fee request was an abuse of discretion or that she would have obtained a more favorable result, considering the circumstances. (See Paterno v. State of California, supra, 74 Cal.App.4th at pp. 105-106, and our discussion above.)
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed regarding the award rendered by the first jury. It is reversed regarding the award of no punitive damages by the second jury. The cause is remanded for retrial solely upon the amount of punitive damages, if any, to be awarded, in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion. Clifford shall have her costs on appeal.
We concur: EPSTEIN, P.J., WILLHITE, JR., J.
