ORDER re ATTORNEYS FEES

Plaintiffs Baljit Kaur, Harnoor Kaur, Gurkirat Singh, and the estate of Khem Singh

(“plaintiffs”) filed a motion to compel for discovery and for sanctions on April 4, 2007. The

motion was heard on April 11, 2007 before the Honorable Dennis L. Beck, United States

Magistrate Judge. Catherine Campbell and Carolyn Phillips appeared on behalf of plaintiffs. 

Alvin Gittisriboongul appeared on behalf of defendants. 

On May 15, 2007, the Court entered an Order granting plaintiffs’ motion to compel

discovery and ordered defendants to further respond to plaintiff’s ninth and tenth requests for

production of documents. The Court also granted plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees based on

defendants’ failure to respond to plaintiff’s requests for production of documents and

interrogatories until after the motion was filed and defendants’ complete failure to respond to

plaintiff’s tenth request for production. The Court ordered plaintiffs’ counsel to submit a

declaration describing the fees associated with the motion, which counsel did on May 15, 2007.
