07725/0070/649412.1 - 1 - Stipulation of Parties on Review of Attorney Time Records

Case No. C-05-3403-CRB

WHEREAS counsel for Defendants has expressed to the Court its 

right to review the time records of Plaintiff’s counsel, previously submitted 

to the Court by Plaintiff’s counsel under seal; and

WHEREAS counsel for Plaintiff has expressed to the Court its 

contention that Defendants have no such right to review such time records

submitted to the Court under seal in light of the settlement agreement 

between the parties; and

WHEREAS the parties have expressed their contrary views in a 

telephonic hearing held on November 13, 2007; and

WHEREAS counsel for Defendants stated that the sole purpose for 

the review it seeks of such time records is to determine that the time entries 

contained in such records relate to work performed by Plaintiff’s counsel in 

the above styled case, and not to other litigation prosecuted by Plaintiff’s 

counsel; and

WHEREAS counsel for Plaintiff are willing to stipulate to a limited 

review of their time records in order to expedite the proceedings herein as 

described below; and
