This appeal challenges an order awarding attorney fees to respondent pursuant to the private attorney general doctrine. (Code Civ. Proc., 1021.5.) In Fudge v. City of Laguna Beach et al. (Nov. 15, 2019, G056403) [nonpub. opn.] (Fudge #1), we reversed the judgment on which the attorney fee award was based. Accordingly, we now reverse the order awarding attorney fees as well.
