NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL F. SOARES,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY LORONO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-05979-WHO 

SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER RE 

ATTORNEYS' FEES

Re: Dkt. No. 395

Plaintiff Paul Soares filed a motion to reconsider my award of attorneys’ fees to defendant 

Salinas Valley Roofing, which I denied. See Order (Dkt. No. 394). In that Order I stated that 

defendants were entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending the motion to 

reconsider. 

Defendants have submitted a request for $3,755.00, reflecting 4.1 hours that attorney 

David Hollingsworth spent defending the motion, at an hourly rate of $400.00 per hour, Dkt. No. 

395, and 14.1 hours spent by his paralegal at an hourly rate of $150.00 per hour. Dkt. No. 395-2. 

Soares did not file any response to this motion, although I permitted him to file any 

opposition by July 3, 2015. Order at 5. As discussed in my Order Awarding Attorneys’ Fees, 

counsel’s hourly rates are reasonable. Dkt. No. 382 at 3. The hours spent are also reasonable. 

Accordingly, I award defendants an additional $3,755.00 in attorneys’ fees. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 7, 2015
