Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Staying Consideration of Bill of Costs 1

The parties submit this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Staying Consideration of the

Plaintiffs’ Bill of Costs until the time that the Court takes up plaintiffs’ petition for attorneys

fees, should plaintiffs file one.

In support of this Stipulation, the parties recite that:

1. Judgment in plaintiffs’ favor was entered in this case on August 31, 2005,

following the Court’s ruling on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment.

2. Defendants have until October 31, 2005, to file a notice of appeal.

3. On September 13, 2005, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation extending the

time for plaintiffs to file an attorneys’ fees petition until November 30, 2005, should defendants

not appeal, or within 30 days of final judgment following exhaustion of further opportunity to

appeal, should an appeal be taken.

4. On September 8, 2005, plaintiff filed their bill of costs.

5. The defendants agree that the costs enumerated in plaintiffs’ bill of costs are

properly taxable costs; however, defendants believe that it would be appropriate to defer

consideration of those costs until the Court takes up the larger question of plaintiffs’ entitlement

to attorneys fees and other expenses, should plaintiffs file a petition for fees and expenses. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to the [proposed] order, set out below, providing that the Court

will defer consideration of plaintiffs’ bill of costs until the time that plaintiffs file a petition for

attorneys’ fees and expenses.

SO STIPULATED:
