Stipulation and [Proposed] Order re Attorneys’ Fees and Costs

Perez v. Tilton, C-05-5241 JSW 2

Plaintiffs filed this class action against the Secretary of the California Department

of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), and the Chief and Chief Dentist of the CDCR

Health Care Services Division, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief under the federal

law. This action was resolved though the Amended Stipulated Order filed by the parties

on April 28, 2006, and signed by this Court on August 21, 2006. The Amended Stipulated

Order provides that plaintiffs are the prevailing party and that the defendants shall pay

plaintiffs’ counsel for work performed in connection with the stipulation at hourly rates set

forth in the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42. U.S.C. §1997e(d). Following the entry of

the Amended Stipulated Order, plaintiffs and defendants conducted successful

negotiations to resolve the attorneys’ fees and costs.

Accordingly, the parties, through their respective attorneys, hereby stipulate as

follows:

Pursuant to Paragraph 42 of the Amended Stipulated Order of August 21, 2006, the

parties have successfully negotiated reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in this

action, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1988 and 1997e(d). Defendants agree to pay plaintiffs’

attorneys the amount of $131,800.00 in settlement of all fees and expenses incurred up to

and including August 28, 2006. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the date this

Order is filed. 

AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES:
