NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION 

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-7, Plaintiffs, by and through counsel, withdraw their Motion for

Attorneys’ Fees and Nontaxable Expenses and the documents simultaneously filed in support

thereof and request that the Court remove the motion from its calendar on July 29, 2005, if the 

Court orders the following Joint Stipulation to Change the Time for Plaintiffs’ Application for 

Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. 

JOINT STIPULATION TO CHANGE THE TIME FOR PLAINTIFFS’

APPLICATION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS 

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 7-12, the parties, by and through counsel, respectfully

request in this joint stipulation an order from the Court to change the time for Plaintiffs to file

their application for attorneys’ fees and costs under 42 U.S.C. § 1988, if the Plaintiffs are

prevailing parties, until 30 days after the expiration of any time period for appeals, or, if the 

decision is appealed, until 30 days after all appeals are completed in this case, whichever is later.

For the purpose of this joint stipulation, the term “appeals” includes the time period to file a 

petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, resolution of the case at the

United States Supreme Court, and entry of final judgment on remand in district court, whichever 

is later.

The reason for the request is to delay final consideration of attorneys’ fees and costs until 

all other court action in this case is completed. The parties seek to avoid the unnecessary 

expenditure of time and cost for the parties and this Court by preventing re-litigation of an 

interim fee award at the conclusion of the case.

There have been two previous time modifications in this case. In response to an 

unopposed motion by the Plaintiffs, this Court modified by court order the deadline for 

conducting an Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) Session from March 10, 2005 until 30 days

after this Court’s ruling on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, which occurred on May 

23, 2005. Again, on June 13, 2005, this court modified the deadline for conducting ENE until 30 

days after all appeals of the preliminary injunction are completed in this case.

The parties do not anticipate that the requested time modification will affect the schedule

for the case because the modification concerns the schedule for post-judgment case activity.
