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

U.S.C. § 1961. 

Pursuant to this procedure, plaintiffs' counsel served their first quarter billing 

statement for the period of January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018 on May 17, 2018. 

The parties agreed to payment of $302,188 in undisputed fees and costs billed by 

plaintiffs’ counsel. This stipulation fully settles all costs and fees for the first quarter 

2018 billing.

 WHEREFORE, defendants agree to pay plaintiffs’ counsel $302,188 within 30 

days of the signing of this Order. On the 31st day following the entry of this Order, 

interest on any unpaid amount will begin to accrue at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 

1961 (i.e., the weekly average 1 year constant maturity Treasury yield for the calendar 

week preceding the date of the Order.)
