UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NATHAN LENARD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS 

COMPANY, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:13-cv-2548 KJM AC 

ORDER 

I. BACKGROUND 

 On April 13, 2015, the court ordered defendant’s counsel to pay plaintiff’s counsel 

$4,960.00 in attorney fees. ECF No. 19. However, the order mistakenly directed plaintiff’s 

counsel to file an affidavit attesting that defendant was not billed for the fees. Plaintiff’s counsel 

has filed the declaration, and gently let the court know that it may have erred in requiring him to 

file it. ECF No. 20. In fact, the order should have directed defendant’s counsel to file the 

affidavit or declaration attesting that the fees were paid, and that his client, the defendant, was not 

billed for them. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Within fourteen days from the date of this order, defendant’s counsel shall serve and 

file a sworn affidavit or declaration stating that the above payment has been made, and that it was 

not billed to his client, the defendant.

 2. If defendant’s counsel has already billed his client for the fees, he shall refund the fees 

and file an affidavit or declaration so attesting.
