preoffer attorneys’ fees . . . .” They appear to suggest that the award of $13,250 in preoffer attorney’s fees was excessive and that an appropriate reduction of this award would reduce appellant’s judgment below the amount of the settlement offer. It may indeed be argued that the evaluation of preoffer attorney’s fees was generous, but respondents have filed no cross-appeal in this action. They cannot seek appellate review of the reasonableness of the award of preoffer attorney’s fees without filing a notice of appeal from the portion of the minute order ruling on their motion to strike appellants’ cost bill.
