ORDER CONFIRMING UNDISPUTED 

BOARD OF PAROLE HEARINGS 

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS FOR 

THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2008 

On March 21, 2001, the District Court ordered all further fee and expense requests and 

disputes in the Board of Parole Hearing (BPH)1 portion of the case shall be resolved through the 

periodic fee process established by this Court's March 26, 1997 order.

On March 26, 1997, the District Court established procedures by which plaintiffs are to 

collect periodic attorneys’ fees and costs in this case in connection with their work monitoring 

defendants’ compliance with the Court’s Orders and collecting fees. 

Pursuant to these procedures, plaintiffs delivered by hand their Second Quarterly Statement 

for 2008 to defendants on July 16, 2008. Defendants submitted their objections to plaintiffs’ 

statement on August 29, 2008. The parties completed their meet and confer on September 25, 

2008, and reached an agreement. 

The parties agree to the total payment of $199,384.77 in undisputed fees and costs, for 

monitoring and fee collection activities in the BPH portion of the case for the Second Quarterly
