1. On June 22, 2006, before the Honorable Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero, the parties

and Costs. The tentative agreement was placed on the record. The settlement was conditional or

tentative in that it was subject to approval by the U.S. Department of Justice. 

2. Under the terms of the tentative settlement agreement Defendant agrees to pay, and

Plaintiffs agree to accept, the sum of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) in full settlement of

Plaintiffs’ claim for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs in this case. Defendant agrees to make a

good faith effort to make payment within 60 days of the June 22, 2006, tentative settlement

agreement. The check shall be made payable to the Law Offices of Sharon E. Duggan and sent

to 370 Grand Avenue, Oakland, California 94610, as directed by Plaintiffs as part of the tentative

settlement agreement placed on the record in Magistrate Judge Spero’s Courtroom on June 22,

2006. If payment is not made within 60 days Defendant shall appear before Magistrate Judge

Spero to explain the delay. 

3. The U.S. Department of Justice has approved the settlement agreement.

4. Having reached a settlement, Plaintiffs’ motion for fees and costs is withdrawn.
