Jerold B. Katz v. Honorable Richard P. Bianchi

Relator petitions this court to issue a writ of mandamus ordering Respondent, Judge Richard Bianchi, to rescind and vacate his order of September 15, 1992. That order required relators to pay interim fees in the amount of $200,000 to Jack T. Trotter for services rendered as Special Master in charge of selling an enterprise owned by relators, William Inglehart (Inglehart) and Larry Fradkin (Fradkin). Relators contend that the order is void because it materially alters and is inconsistent with the two agreed judgments signed by the parties on October 13, and October 16, 1989, which govern the sale of the business and payment to Trotter. We disagree and deny mandamus.
