OPINION ON ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT
SIMS, Acting P.J.
Plaintiffs and appellants, Ernesto Lopez and Aristeo Solorio, and defendants and respondents Law Offices of Stanley J. Bell, Stanley J. Bell, Sally Bechthold and Kirk Musacchio, have applied to this court for determination of good faith settlement.
Such a determination is governed by Code of Civil Procedure section 877.6. The aforementioned parties have cited no authority indicating the provisions of section 877.6 apply to the Court of Appeal. Reading section 877.6 in its entirety, it is apparent the statute applies only to the trial court and not to the Court of Appeal.
The application for determination of good faith settlement is denied.
NICHOLSON and KOLKEY, JJ., concur.
