We previously blogged about Turman v. Turning Point, an unpublished opinion in which the California Court of Appeal affirmed a trial court order striking a plaintiff's claim for punitive damages. Today the Court of Appeal issued an order publishing that opinion. The court ordered publication in response to a request from plaintiff's counsel, who undoubtedly requested publication not because of the opinion's discussion of punitive damages, but because of the earlier discussion in the opinion overturning a defense verdict on the plaintiff's claim for compensatory damages.
