Local Rule 54.2 provides that a party seeking an award of attorneys’ fees and related

non-taxable expenses must file a motion requesting the award within fourteen days of the

entry of judgment in the action. LRCiv 54.2(b)(1); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(2)(B) (same).

The Court has not entered a final judgment in this case pursuant to Rule 58 or Rule 54(b) of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Brant’s motion is thus premature. The Court will deny

the motion without prejudice and with leave to re-file upon the entry of final judgment in this

case. See Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church v. Church Mut. Ins. Co., No. CIV-04-1700-

PHX-SMM, 2006 WL 1889542, at *2 (D. Ariz. July 6, 2006) (denying motion for attorneys’

fees as premature). 

IT IS ORDERED that Third-Party Defendant’s motion for award of attorneys’ fees

and non-taxable expenses (Dkt. #38) is denied without prejudice. Third-Party Defendant

may re-file the motion upon the entry of final judgment in this case.

DATED this 27th day of March, 2007.
