CACV261/1995

The Court dismissed the appeal, holding the trial judge properly exercised his discretion in requiring satisfactory accounting for prior funds before permitting a larger release and appropriately increasing the permitted expenditure only to $250,000; further applications for additional sums should be made to the trial judge and appellate intervention was unwarranted absent plain error.
