MINUTE ENTRY
This matter was taken under advisement following oral argument on January 22, 2007 on
the Court of Appeals Remand of May 1, 2006 to this Court for a determination on whether the
Association is entitled to attorney’s fees under section 7.04 of the Plaintiff’s CC&R’s.
The Court finds that the underlying issue of whether the Association properly
commenced legal action was decided by Judge O’Melia in his June 7, 2004 Order. He held that
“…the Defendants ceased the alleged illegal activities many months before the lawsuit was
filed.” It is clear to this Court that no “lot …[was] is being used in a manner which violates this
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY
CV 2003-019231
01/25/2007
Docket Code 019
Form V000A
Page 2
declaration” and that the Defendants were not “failing to perform any of its obligations….”
(CC&R’s 7.04).
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the Association (Plaintiff) is not entitled to attorneys’ fees.
As the Court of Appeals rejected any argument for attorneys’ fees other than any
available under the Plaintiff Association’s CC & R’s, this Court will make no further order
regarding attorneys’ fees and will not reexamine an award under any statutory authority. Each
party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs.

MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has considered all of the memoranda submitted in respect to the issues of
damages and/or attorney fees. The Court also considered the exhibits and arguments of counsel.
The Court makes the following rulings:
It is clear from the evidence submitted that the Defendants ceased the alleged illegal
activities many months before the lawsuit was filed. Actually, there was approximately 7-8
months between the time the letter was sent and the time the lawsuit was filed. The evidence is
clear that the letter was not received by the appropriate property owners.
It is also clear that the lis pendens filed in this case was not proper or legal lis pendens,
and therefore the Defendants are entitled to the minimum of $5,000.00 pursuant to the statute as
damages. The Court is unclear as to whether there are three or four lis pendens at issue. The
parties should be able to determine that issue.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED denying the Plaintiff’s request for attorney fees and
allowing the Defendants’ request for attorney fees in the amount of $4,200.00.
