UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CASSANDRA JOHNSON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY,

Defendant.

No. 2:22-cv-01288-DC-JDP

ORDER GIVING EFFECT TO STIPULATION 

RESOLVING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS,

AND EXPENSES

(Doc. No. 33)

On October 16, 2024, following Plaintiffs’ acceptance of Defendant’s Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 68 offer of judgment, the court directed the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment 

in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendant in the amount of $85,000.00, plus reasonable 

attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. (Doc. No. 29.) At the time, the parties were still negotiating 

attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, and they were considering either filing a noticed motion to 

request that the court determine the attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses or resolving the 

attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses themselves. (See Doc. No. 25.) 

Subsequently, on January 15, 2025, the parties filed a stipulation, agreeing that to resolve 

attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, Defendant Ford Motor Company will pay Plaintiffs, through 

Plaintiffs’ counsel, $21,000.00 by no later than April 15, 2025. (Doc. Nos. 33 at 2; 33-1.)

Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing, 

1. Defendant Ford Motor Company shall pay Plaintiffs’ counsel $21,000.00 in
