In Save Our Uniquely Rural Community Environment v. County of San Bernardino (2015) 235 Cal.App.4th 1179, the plaintiff requested attorney fees of $231,098 pursuant to section 1021.5. The trial court reduced the fees to $19,176. "It found that the reduction was justified because the plaintiff succeeded on only one of its six CEQA arguments and on none of its four CUP conditional use permit arguments." (Id., at p. 1183.) The appellate court concluded that the plaintiff had "not met its burden of demonstrating an abuse of discretion ." (Id., at p. 1182.)
