The following excerpt is from Brough-Stevenson v. Cmty. Emergency Med. Assocs., F063875 (Cal. App. 2013):
Respondent has requested this court to award her attorney fees on appeal. A party's right to attorney fees extends to attorney fees on appeal as well. (Morrow v. Los Angeles Unified School Dist. (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 1424, 1446.) If the appellate court determines that the appeal raises no new permissible arguments that change the result, and concludes that the appeal is frivolous and was intended to cause further delay of the litigation, attorney fees on appeal may be awarded. (City of Alhambra v. D'Ausilio (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 1301, 1309.)
