defendants AlliedBarton Security Services LP and Kelly Murcray’s Rule 11 Motion for

Sanctions Against Plaintiff’s Counsel, filed March 10, 2010, by which motion defendants

sought, as against plaintiff’s counsel, Sangeeta Singal (“Singal”), an award of sanctions in

the form of attorneys fees in the amount of $5052.50. Specifically, by said Order, the Court

found defendants are entitled to reasonable fees incurred in having to oppose two postjudgment motions filed by Singal and for having to bring the above-referenced motion for

sanctions, but deferred ruling as to the amount of such sanctions and afforded Singal the

opportunity to contest the amount sought. Singal’s response with respect to such amount

was to be filed no later than May 5, 2010. No such response has been filed. 

The Court having reviewed defendants’ showing as to the specific amount of fees
