APPOINTED COUNSEL’S SECOND

EX PARTE REQUEST FOR

AUTHORITY TO INCUR COSTS

(trial transcript) 

AND REQUEST FOR PAYMENT

PART I

I, Carter C. White, attorney for Plaintiff, declare as follows:

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and in the United

States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the supervising attorney of the King

Hall Civil Rights Clinic, appointed attorney of record for plaintiff in this action. 

2. I was appointed to represent Plaintiff in this action on November 1, 2007, by the

Honorable Garland B. Burrell, Jr., United States District Judge. I believe that the following course

of action is reasonably necessary in the prosecution of this action: order a copy of the complete

transcript of the trial proceedings to assist the Plaintiff in evaluation of the prospects on appeal. The

request is made necessary in part because we were appointed midway through the trial of the case

and were not present during the first three days of testimony. The only way to accurately assess

current offers of settlement are to review the trial transcript. Should the case not settle, the Plaintiff

will need a copy of the transcript to prepare his Appellee’s Brief.

3. I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of the action will not exceed

$ 800. This is based on the estimate provided to me by court reporter Kimberly Bennett.

4. I therefore request that this Court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to

exceed that stated above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.

5. The following payment of costs has been heretofore approved in this matter:

Amount Approved Purpose Amount Paid

 $603.00 Expedited transcripts of three witness’ (pending)

 testimony during trial

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that this is

executed this 20 day of December 2007, in Yolo County, California. th
