Description
Shortly prior to trial, the attorneys for the parties reached a settlement agreement. On the date of trial, the attorneys notified the court of the agreement. The court instructed the attorneys to file the appropriate documents within 30 days. Appellees attorney prepared the documents and sent them to appellants attorney. Appellants refused to sign the settlement agreement. Nothing was filed with the court within the 30-day period, and the court dismissed the case with prejudice on January 19, 1987. A motion to reinstate was denied on February 17, 1987. Appellee filed a motion to compel appellants to execute the settlement agreement, which was granted. Appellants ignored this order. On motion of appellee, its counterclaim was dismissed on May 26, 1987. Newly-retained counsel for appellants filed a motion to set aside the order of dismissal with prejudice, which was granted, the court amending its January 19, 1987, order to reflect dismissal without prejudice. Appellee filed a motion for attorneys fees and costs in the amount of $9,391.01, which covered all the time spent on the case. The court awarded fees of $2,336 in a minute entry which contains no statement of the statutory basis for its award; appellants filed this appeal challenging the award of attorneys fees to appellee.
