ORDER MODIFYING OPINION; NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT
THE COURT:
Appellants' Request for Modification is granted in part and denied in part. It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on July 29, 2022, be modified as follows:
1. In footnote 14 on page 28, the sentence, "Valstock appears to imply that this means the trial court here could not award attorney's fees for the declaratory judgment cause of action until after the conclusion of all appeals from a final judgment" is deleted and replaced with, "Although it clarified and disclaimed this position during oral argument, Valstock's citation to 580 Folsom in its briefing appeared to imply that this means the trial court here could not award attorney's fees for the declaratory judgment cause of action until after the conclusion of all appeals from a final judgment."
There is no change in judgment.
