ORDER APPOINTING SPECIAL

MASTER

Pursuant to an order dated May 30, 2007, parties were to meet and confer on the issue of

the amount of attorney’s fees and costs to be paid to plaintiff under the settlement agreement. 

In light of the failure of the parties to agree, the Court will exercise its power under Rule 54(d)

to appoint a special master to resolve the issue of the amount of attorney’s fees and costs. In

doing so, the special master shall have all the powers set forth in Rule 53(c) and Rule

54(d)(2)(D). As directed in the order dated May 30, 2007, parties shall provide the special

master with copies of all papers relevant to the dispute, including this order and the order dated

May 30, 2007. 

Parties will be responsible for paying for the special master’s fees, with the allocation of

fees to be determined later, taking into account the reasonableness of parties’ respective

positions and the special master’s recommendations.
