STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND TIME IN WHICH TO FILE 

MOTION FOR FEES, COSTS AND 

EXPENSES RELATED TO WORK 

BEFORE THREE-JUDGE COURT 

AND SUPREME COURT OF THE 

UNITED STATES 

Judge: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton 

1. On June 15, 2011, the Court granted an extension to the stay of all attorneys’ 

fees, costs and expenses matters related to the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, 

including the proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States, ordering that 

Plaintiffs’ application for fees, costs and expenses be submitted 60 days after August 26, 

2011. On October 25, 2011, the Court extended the stay to November 18, 2011. 

2. The parties continue to meet and confer regarding Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, 

costs, and expenses. These fees, costs, and expenses are separate from those approved in 

the recent order issued by the court in Plata v. Brown. (See Coleman Docket No. 4094.)

The purpose of this meet and confer process has been to exhaust any possibility of settling 

these matters, or of narrowing the disputes as much as possible. In order to allow that 

process to continue and, if possible, to succeed, the parties jointly request a further 

extension that provides additional time to meet and confer. 

3. The parties therefore request that the Court extend the deadline for filing the 

fees and costs application for matters related to the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, 

including the appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States to December 16, 2011. The 

parties agree that the hearing will not be noticed for January 13th or 20th, 2012. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, this Court 

extends the stay of all outstanding attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses matters related to 

the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, including the proceedings before the Supreme

aforementioned matter no later than December 16, 2011. 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 do not apply. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
