IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFF BOWMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

UBS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C-04-3525 MMC

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND

COSTS; VACATING HEARING

(Docket No. 254)

Before the Court is defendant UBS Financial Services, Inc.’s (“UBS”) motion, filed

June 1, 2007, for attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in litigating post-dismissal motions filed

by class members Randall L. Krenzin (“Krenzin”) and William R. Zurn (“Zurn”). Krenzin and

Zurn have filed a joint opposition to the motion; UBS has filed a reply. Having considered

the papers filed in support of and in opposition to the motion, the Court finds the matter

appropriate for decision without oral argument, hereby VACATES the August 17, 2007

hearing on the matter, and rules as follows.

In an order filed May 17, 2007, the Court denied Krenzin’s and Zurn’s motion to

confirm their asserted status as non-class members or, in the alternative, for an

enlargement of time to opt out of the class settlement in the instant action; the Court further

granted in part and denied in part UBS’s motion to enforce the final order approving the

joint stipulation of settlement and release, and enjoined Krenzin and Zurn from pursuing, in

NASD arbitrations, all claims that were released by the settlement. (See Order, filed May

17, 2007, at 2, 4, 5-6.) Additionally, the Court ordered: “As UBS has prevailed with respect

to the instant motions, it is entitled, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, to recover from

Krenzin and Zurn the reasonable fees and costs UBS incurred in litigating the instant

motions.” (See id. at 7.)

UBS now moves for an award of $77,679.08 in attorneys’ fees and $570.80 in costs. 

Having read and considered the papers submitted in support of and in opposition to the

motion, the Court finds the total amount of fees and costs sought to be reasonable.

Accordingly, UBS’s motion is hereby GRANTED, and UBS is hereby awarded

against class members Krenzin and Zurn a total of $77,679.08 in attorneys’ fees and

$570.80 in costs. 

This order terminates Docket No. 254.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
