Narrative Opinion Summary
William Stern appeals a final judgment of fraudulent transfer related to a default judgment in favor of Sanford and Frances Stein. The trial court had subject matter jurisdiction to issue the order, but the appeal is reversed because the underlying default judgment has been vacated. This reversal allows appellees to pursue other rights or pre-judgment remedies in the original case. The reversal does not affect the separate order awarding attorney’s fees to Sanford Stein, imposed as a sanction for Stern's discovery violations, which is affirmed due to no abuse of discretion. The decision is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. Judges Stone and Karlan concur.
