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

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR

COLLECTION OF UNDISPUTED

ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

FOR 2010

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 thirtyStipulation and Order Re: Collection of 2010 Fees

first day after the Order is filed, accruing at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961.

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

statement for the period October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 on March 31, 2010.

Following a meet and confer, the parties agreed to payment of $221,315 in undisputed fees

for the fourth quarter. The attorney market rates referenced in this proposed revision are

those contained in Plaintiff's adjusted 2010 billing spreadsheets, and those rates will be for

the purposes of calendar year 2010 billings in this matter only.

Additionally, the parties had disputed the hourly rate due for the services of

litigation assistants during the first through the third quarters of 2010. Following a

subsequent meet and confer, however, the parties agreed that defendants would pay an

additional $154,232, based on the hourly rate for litigation assistants of $180.

WHEREFORE, defendants agree to pay plaintiffs’ counsel $375,547 within 30

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

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.)
