TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 

This Stipulation is submitted pursuant to Local Rule 6-2 and is entered into by and between all 

Plaintiffs and Defendants represented by the undersigned counsel (collectively, the “Parties”) for the

purpose of extending the time for Defendants’ to bring a motion for attorney’s fees.

Judgment pursuant to the July 20, 2016 Order. 

3. The Court is expected to enter a final judgment for purposes of Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 58(c). 

4. Pursuant to Local Rule 54-5, a motion for award of attorney’s fees must be served and 

filed within 14 days of entry of judgment by the District Court. 

5. Also pursuant to Local Rule 54-5, parties must meet and confer for the purposes of 

resolving all disputed issues relating to attorney’s fees before making a motion for

6. To accommodate the Parties’ efforts to meet and confer on Defendants’ attorney’s fee 

motion and related matters, the Parties have agreed to a 7 day extension of the 14 day 

period and respectfully ask the Court to enter the below extension in connection with 

Defendants’ time to bring a motion for award of attorney’s fees. 

7. No prior time modification, by stipulation or Court order, has been provided in 

connection with an attorney’s fees motion in this action, and this Stipulation is not 

offered for any dilatory or improper purpose, but rather solely to effectively manage the 

scheduling of case events and to ensure the most efficient use of resources by the 

Court, the Parties, and their counsel as well as consider Parties’ scheduling 

commitments.
