(b) “Subject to a Judgment,” means that the court has entered a judgment pursuant to stipulation, or that the court has entered an order entitling a party to entry of judgment (e.g., order granting a motion for summary judgment, order sustaining demurrer), regardless of whether the actual form of judgment has yet been prepared, approved, or filed.
