ORDER RE MOTION FOR

ATTORNEY’S FEES

Plaintiff has moved for attorney’s fees. Any opposition to the motion should address

only the issue of entitlement. If plaintiff is entitled to fees, the amount will be considered next,

by a different procedure. This two-stage process will allow the parties to forego further filings

related to the amount until the threshold issue of entitlement is decided. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
