STIPULATION AND ORDER

EXTENDING STAY OF ALL

ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS, AND

EXPENSES RELATED TO ALL WORK 

BEFORE THE THREE-JUDGE COURT

UNTIL U.S. SUPREME COURT 

DECISION

Judge: The Honorable Thelton E. 

Henderson

Action Filed: April 5, 2001

Plaintiffs and Defendants stipulate as follows:

1. In briefs filed with this Court regarding Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses 

incurred before the Three-Judge Court, Plaintiffs sought an award of attorneys’ fees and costs for 

work performed in connection with the Three-Judge Court proceedings. Defendants contend that 

a fees and costs award is premature and that the single judges lack jurisdiction over these fees 

matters. Nothing in this Stipulation may be deemed a concession of any party’s positions on 

entitlement to or reasonableness of attorneys’ fees and costs.

Stip. & Order Extending Stay All Attys.’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses Related to All Work (C 01-01351 TEH)

Before Three-Judge Court Until U.S. Supreme Court Decision

2. This Court originally granted Defendants’ request to stay all attorneys’ fees, costs,

and expense matters related to the Three-Judge Court and related appeals until July 1, 2010. 

(Plata Docket 2255.) On June 12, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it would review 

on the merits Defendants’ appeal of the Three-Judge Court’s prisoner release order. Thereafter, 

this Court granted the parties’ request to extend the stay until January 17, 2011. (Plata Docket 

2320.)

3. The case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on November 30, 2010. A 

decision is not expected before the current stay expires on January 17, 2011. Accordingly, the 

parties jointly agree to extend the stay of all attorneys’ fees, costs and expense matters related to 

the Three-Judge Court until the U.S. Supreme Court renders a decision on Defendants’ appeal.

The parties will meet and confer regarding Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, costs, and expense matters 

within thirty days of the date the Supreme Court’s decision is issued.

4. In so stipulating, Plaintiffs do not waive and will enforce their right to interest in 

accordance with the provisions set forth in the December 17, 2002 Plata Periodic Fees order. 

Defendants do not waive any rights or arguments to object to any and all fees, costs, and 

expenses, or to appeal any order regarding fees, costs, and expenses arising out of the ThreeJudge Court proceedings. For the duration of the stay, any and all deadlines relating to motions 

or claims for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses contained in the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, the Federal Appellate Rules, the U.S. Supreme Court Rules, and/or the Local Rules for
