No. C-01-1351 T.E.H.

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR

COLLECTION OF UNDISPUTED

ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

FOR FOURTH QUARTER OF 2009

On December 17, 2002, this Court established a procedure by which plaintiffs are

to collect attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the Stipulation for

Injunctive Relief. This procedure requires plaintiffs' counsel to submit to defendants a

quarterly statement of fees incurred in monitoring work, and permits defendants thirty (30)

days from the receipt of plaintiffs' statement to notify plaintiffs of any disputed items. 

After the parties meet and confer on any of defendant's objections, counsel shall then

prepare a stipulated order for payment of the fees not subject to defendants’ objections. 

The Order also states that defendants shall have thirty (30) days from the entry of the order

to pay the undisputed fees and that interest on any undisputed fees will run from the
