In 2011, Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Ronald M. Sohigian awarded Kasanoff only $14,981 and dismissed his other claims, while ordering [Kasanoff's company] Threshold to pay Warner Bros. $25,412 in legal fees after determining that Warner Bros. was the "prevailing party." Kasanoff appealed against the ruling and the denial of a jury trial.
