UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH COLEMAN, et al.,

Plaintiff,

v.

EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:90-cv-0520 LKK DAD P

ORDER

The matter of payment of the special master has been referred to the undersigned by the 

assigned District Judge. The court has reviewed the bill for services provided by the Special 

Master in the above-captioned case through the month of February 2014. The Special Master’s 

bill for services for February 2014 totals $493,086.27. By order filed March 12, 2014, the Clerk 

of the Court was directed to pay to the Special Master $417,397.27 of that total pending further 

deposits into the interest-bearing account from which payment for those services is made. On 

March 26, 2014, defendants made an additional payment into that account. Accordingly, the 

court will by this order direct the Clerk of the Court to pay the withheld amount forthwith.1 

/////

 

1

The court’s March 12, 2014 order indicated that the withheld amount would be paid with the 

payment for the Special Master’s March 2014 bill. The deposit having been made, there appears 

to be no reason to further delay complete payment for services rendered by the Special Master 

and his staff in February 2014.
