On December 17, 2002, the Court established a procedure by which plaintiffs are

Injunctive Relief. This procedure requires plaintiffs' counsel to submit to defendants a 

quarterly statement of fees incurred in monitoring work, and permits defendants thirty

U.S.C. § 1961. 

 Pursuant to this procedure, plaintiffs' counsel served their third quarter billing 

statement for the period of July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017 on October 25, 

2017. Following a meet and confer, the parties agreed to payment of $288,737 in 

undisputed fees and costs billed by plaintiffs’ counsel. This stipulation fully settles all 

costs and fees for the third quarter 2017 billing. 

 WHEREFORE, defendants agree to pay plaintiffs’ counsel $288,737 within 30 

days of the signing of this Order. On the 31st day following the entry of this Order, 

interest on any unpaid amount will begin to accrue at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 

1961 (i.e., the weekly average 1 year constant maturity Treasury yield for the calendar 

week preceding the date of the Order.)
