Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BC307091
COOPER, P. J. FLIER, J. EGERTON, J.
Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
IT IS ORDERED that the opinion filed in the above-captioned matter on February 27, 2008, be modified as follows:
1. On page 2, in the second paragraph of the Summary, the third sentence that now states: “Gross and Kuist also received punitive damage awards of approximately $646,000 and $1.3 million, respectively,” is to be deleted. That sentence is corrected, and should now state: “Gross and Kuist also received punitive damage awards of approximately $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively.”
2. On page 7, the last sentence of the final paragraph, that now states: “The second phase of the trial proceeded and the jury, by special verdict, awarded Kuist and Gross $1,291,517 and $645,833, respectively, in punitive damages against Hodge and Hodge, Inc.,” is to be deleted. That sentence is corrected and should now state: “The second phase of the trial proceeded and the jury, by special verdict, awarded Kuist and Gross $1,291,517 and $645,833, respectively, in punitive damages against each of Hodge and Hodge, Inc.”
These modifications effect no change in the judgment.
Respondent Gary G. Kuist’s petition for rehearing filed March 5, 2008 is hereby denied.
