WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Peter Michael Palmer, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Glenn A. Savona, et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV-10-08209-PCT-JAT

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion for Award of Attorneys’ Fees and 

Non-Taxable Expenses (Doc. 60). Defendants ask the Court to award $36,650 in 

“estimated” attorneys’ fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. (Doc. 60 at 2). The sole 

evidence offered in support of the motion is Defendants’ assertion that “The estimated 

amount of the attorneys’ fees at this time are: 183.25 hours X $200/hr. (estimated) = 

$36,650.” (Id.) Although Defendants stated that they would file a memorandum of points 

and authorities with supporting documentation, they have failed to do so. 

 Local Rule 54.2(b)(2) requires motions seeking attorneys’ fees from parties other 

than the United States must “file and serve a motion . . . (along with a supporting 

memorandum of points and authorities) within fourteen (14) days of the entry of 

judgment in the action with respect to which the services were rendered.” LRCivP 

54.2(b)(2). 

 Defendants have failed to comply with the Local Rules and have utterly failed to 

support their motion for attorneys’ fees. 

 Accordingly,
