Stipulation And Order Temporarily Staying All Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, And Expenses Related To All Work Before The 

Three-Judge Panel Until October 1, 2010 - Case No. Civ S 90-520 LKK-JFM 

[348556-1]

STIPULATION TO TEMPORARILY STAY ALL ATTORNEYS’ FEES, 

COSTS, AND EXPENSES RELATED TO ALL WORK BEFORE THE 

THREE-JUDGE PANEL UNTIL OCTOBER 1, 2010 

Plaintiffs and defendants STIPULATE as follows: 

1. In briefs filed with this court regarding plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses 

incurred before the Three-Judge panel, plaintiffs have sought an award of attorneys’ fees and 

costs for work performed in connection with the Three-Judge Panel proceedings. Defendants 

have contended 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. 

2. In Plata v. Schwarzenegger, defendants moved for a stay of attorneys’ fees matters 

related to work before the Three-Judge Panel. Plata Docket 2227. Plaintiffs in the Plata case 

disputed defendants’ legal arguments, but did not contest the imposition of a stay until July 1, 

2010. Plata Docket 2241. Judge Henderson subsequently granted a temporary stay until July 1, 

2010. Plata Docket 2255. 

3. The parties in this case also jointly agree to stay all attorneys’ fees, costs and 

expense matters related to the Three-Judge Panel and related appeals until October 1, 2010. In so 

doing, plaintiffs do not waive and will enforce their right to interest in accordance with the 

provisions set forth in the March 19, 1996 Coleman Periodic Fees order. Defendants do not 

waive any rights or arguments to object to any and all fees and costs or to appeal any order 

regarding fees and costs arising out of the Three-Judge 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 Civil Rules, the Federal Appellate Rules, the U.S. Supreme 

Court Rules, and/or the Local Rules for the Eastern District of California are stayed. If either
