STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR

ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS – Case No. C 02-2708 JCS -1-

Plaintiffs intend to file a motion seeking attorneys fees and costs for the component of the

case that arose after the merits phase of the case. Defendant expects that it would oppose such

motion. In the interests of trying to resolve Plaintiffs’ claim without the need for further

litigation, the parties have agreed to engage in settlement discussions regarding Plaintiffs’

attorneys fees and costs. Given the short turn around time provided in local rules 54-1(a) and 54-

6(a) for costs and fees respectively, and given the ninety (90) day time frame provided under the

Equal Access to Justice Act, 42 U.S.C. 2412(d)(1)(B), (d)(2)(G), the parties agree that an

extension of time for the filing of Plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs is appropriate. 

Therefore, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendant request that this court extend the time for the

filing of Plaintiffs’ motion up to and including October 26, 2006.

Respectfully Submitted,
