APPLY FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES/COSTS - CASE NO. C-06-4837 EMC 

1

 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2(a), Plaintiff Mr. Gordon Simpson (“Mr. Simpson”) and 

Defendant Officer Nguyen submit this Stipulation to continue all deadlines for motions and/or 

applications for attorneys’ fees and costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54, 42 U.S.C. § 

1983 and any other applicable rule or statute. Specifically, the parties request an order continuing 

the deadline for all motions seeking attorneys’ fees or costs until twenty-one (21) days after the 

resolution of Officer Nguyen’s motion for qualified immunity and motion for judgment as a 

matter of law. 

Good cause exists for extending the time to move or apply for attorneys’ fees and costs. If 

Officer Nguyen prevails on either of his post-trial motions, briefing on fees and costs would in all 

likelihood be unnecessary and moot. Moreover, continuing all deadlines to apply or move for 

attorneys’ fees and costs would avoid the potential situation where Mr. Simpson would have to 

file two separate motions for fees and costs – one on May 28, 2010 (the current deadline for such 

motions) and one following the resolution of Officer Nguyen’s post-trial motions. The parties 

submit that briefing attorneys’ fees and costs twice would result in the unnecessary consumption 

of the parties’ resources and the Court’s resources, particularly when substantive post-trial 

motions have yet to be decided. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court issue 

an Order continuing all deadlines for motions and applications for attorneys’ fees and costs until 

twenty-one (21) day after the resolution of Officer Nguyen’s post-trial motions. 

No prior time modifications in this Action have affected the dates for moving or applying 

for attorneys’ fees and cost. Moreover, the effect of the Stipulation will either have no impact on 

the case schedule (if briefing on attorneys’ fees and costs becomes unnecessary), or, at worst, 

result in a minimal delay of the resolution of this matter (if all briefing on fees and costs occurs 

after the resolution of Officer Nguyen’s post-trial motions). The Declaration required by Civil 

Local Rule 6-3(a) is attached hereto as Exhibit A. An order regarding the extension of time to 

move or apply for attorneys’ fees and costs is set forth below.
