Counsel seeking reimhnrsem(mt must support all claimed eXl}cnses by subniitting invoices, receipts or simiiar 

documentation. Without such documentation, counsel will not be reimbursed. 

I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed

above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.

ATIACHMENT TO 

REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO INCUR COSTS (APPOINTED COUNSEL) 

AND REQUEST FOR PAYMENT 

I needed to take three expert depositions in three different locations on April 8, 2015 and April 9, 2015. 

I started the trip from my office in Fresno and traveled to Elk Grove, California, for the deposition of 

Dr. Bruce P. Barnett, who was designated by Defendants in this case to testify as an expert witness. After 

the deposition, I traveled to Stockton, California, and stayed overnight at the Clarion Inn & Suites in 

Stockton. The following day, April 9, 2015, I traveled from the Clarion Inn & Suites in Stockton to 

the California Healthcare Correctional Facility for the deposition of Melissa Salisbury, RN. Ms. 

Salisbury assisted with treatment of Plaintiff for the asthma attack at issue in this case. After the 

completion of Ms. Salisbury's deposition, I traveled to the DVI Correctional Facility in Tracy, 

California. to take the deposition of Dr. Sambrajya Palagummi. Dr. Palagwruni evaluated 

Plaintiff upon arrival at DVI and determined Plaintiff had certain ADA restrictions that are at 

issue in this case. After the depositions ofMs. Salisbury and Dr. Palagummi, I traveled back to 

my office in Fresno. I seek approval to incur $79.92 in lodging expenses for the stay in Stockton 

overnight. I shopped around to find the best available hotel rates and $79.92 ($74.00 plus tax) 

was the best available. I further seek reimbursement for 338.2 miles of travel times the current 

mileage reimbursement rate of $0.575, totaling $194.46. I have attached my hotel confirmation 

and Google Maps print-outs verifying the expenses.
