ROBERT MIKE CAPES vs. COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

The applicant's attorney sought reconsideration of a prior order denying the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding sanctions and fees. The applicant's attorney argued the Board erred in upholding the finding that the defendant's attorney engaged in sanctionable conduct. The Board granted the applicant's petition for reconsideration, affirming its previous order but clarifying that the sanctionable conduct was committed by Sammy Rabieh of the Law Office of Louis D. Seaman, not Mr. Seaman himself. The ultimate decision affirmed the original findings regarding sanctionable conduct and the award of attorney's fees and costs to the applicant's attorney.
