The jury returned separate verdicts awarding punitive damages. As with economic damages on the compensatory damage verdict forms, the punitive damages forms called for the jury to award punitive damages separately to each of the 10 spaces, such that where more than one plaintiff lived in a space, the award for that space was shared by all the plaintiffs living on the space. For each space, the jury was asked to consider making three separate awards-one against defendant Tatum, one against defendant Kaplan, and one against defendants Terrace View Partners, LP and Mobile Community Management Company together. The jury returned the same award for each of the 10 spaces: $ 3.2 million against Kaplan; $ 2 million against Tatum; and $ 500,000 against Terrace View Partners, LP and Mobile Community Management Company, for a total punitive damages award of $ 57 million. As noted, the court issued a postjudgment order reducing the amount of punitive damages awarded to each of the spaces to match the space's award of compensatory damages, making the total amount of punitive damages awarded against defendants $ 1,289,000. After entering the judgment, the court awarded attorney fees to plaintiffs in the amount of $ 2,385,773.70 plus costs of $ 56,417.72. The Court's Ruling on Plaintiffs' UCL *811Claim** DISCUSSION
