SUMMER TURFE,

v.

ROBERT TURFE,

Appellant.

 

No. B276665

(Los Angeles County

Super. Ct. No. BD561532)

California Courts of Appeal

Second Appellate District

Division Three

Filed June 8, 2018

 

BY THE COURT:

 

It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on May 30, 2018, be modified as follows:

On the caption of the opinion, after Honey Kessler Amado, insert a semi-colon and add "Feinberg Mindel Brandt & Klein, and Wallace S. Fingerett" so that counsel listing for Respondent reads as follows:

Honey Kessler Amado; Feinberg Mindel Brandt & Klein, and Wallace S. Fingerett for Respondent.

On page 8 of the opinion, in the first sentence of the first full paragraph, delete the words "found she was not credible with respect to her fidelity, but" so that the sentence reads as follows:

With respect to wife's credibility, the trial court "found her to be a credible witness on the issue of the Mahr Agreement and [found] that she did not engage in any misleading or deceptive conduct in order to induce [husband] to marry her.

The petition for rehearing is denied.

[There is no change in the judgment.]

 

 

EDMON, P. J.

 

We concur:
