IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NANCY LANGSTON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

NORTH AMERICAN ASSET

DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION GROUP

DISABILITY PLAN,

Defendant. /

No. C 08-02560 SI

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT TO

SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD

On January 20, 2010, this Court awarded plaintiff attorneys fees and costs, as the prevailing

party in this matter. In making the award, the Court rejected plaintiff’s requested hourly rate based in

part on defendant’s objection to same as excessive. Thereafter, plaintiff sought reconsideration of the

fee order, and this Court scheduled an evidentiary hearing for April 7, 2010, to evaluate the factual

predicate for the fee award. 

The April 7, 2010 hearing thus arises in the wake of defendant’s successful objection to

plaintiff’s fee petition based in part on the contention that plaintiff’s requested hourly rates were

excessive. However, defendant has submitted no factual information on which to evaluate the question.

Therefore, in preparation for the hearing, the Court directs defendant to supplement the record by filing

electronically no later than April 7, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. a declaration stating the rate defense counsel

charged in 2009 to defend ERISA cases like this one.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
