Stipulation and Order 

The Parties to the above-captioned case, through their counsel, stipulate as follows: 

1. In the above-captioned case, as well as in Plata v. Schwarzenegger, all 

matters concerning attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses have been stayed pending the 

decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Case No. 09-1233, Brown v. Plata. 

See Plata Docket 2321, 2344; Coleman Docket 3948, 2977. 

2. On May 23, 2011, United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Brown 

v. Plata [and Coleman], ___ U.S. ____, 2011 U.S. LEXIS 4012, affirming the three-judge 

panel decision. Accordingly, the parties have met and conferred regarding Plaintiffs’ 

attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses for both the three-judge panel proceedings and the 

proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States. In order to exhaust any 

possibility of settling these matters, or of narrowing the disputes as much as possible, the 

parties jointly request additional time to meet and confer. 

3. The parties request that the Court extend the stay of all attorneys’ fees, costs 

and expense matters related to the Three-Judge Panel and related appeals, including the 

appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and direct the parties to complete their 

meet and confer process by August 26, 2011, with any motion for fees, costs and expenses 

due 60 days thereafter. In so doing, plaintiffs do not waive and will enforce their right to 

interest in accordance with the provisions set forth in the March 19, 1996 Coleman 

Periodic Fees order. Defendants do not waive any rights or arguments to object to any and 

all fees and costs or to appeal any order regarding fees and costs arising out of the ThreeJudge Panel proceedings. For the duration of the stay, any and all deadlines relating to 

motions or claims for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses contained in the Federal Civil 

Rules, the Federal Appellate Rules, the U.S. Supreme Court Rules, and/or the Local Rules
