IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

No. C05-5241 JSW

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR

PERIODIC COLLECTION OF

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS

On April 10, 2007, this Court established a procedure by which plaintiffs are to

collect attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the Amended Stipulation and

Order. 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 thirty-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 first quarter billing
