Overview
- Los Angeles County Judge Ian C. Fusselman ordered plaintiff’s attorney Ron A. Rosen Janfaza to pay $1,500 for violating an evidentiary ruling.
- He must self-report the sanction to the California State Bar within 30 days and pay by Feb. 27, 2026 or face collections.
- The judge deemed the gang‑affiliation question a knowing and intentional breach of a pretrial order barring references to prior bad acts.
- Janfaza’s explanations, including claims of sleep deprivation and reliance on an office manager’s draft, were rejected as unpersuasive.
- A Sept. 2, 2025 jury verdict clearing Cardi B of assault and battery remains in place after the court later denied a bid for a new trial.
