plaintiff obtained new class counsel within thirty (30) days and 2) reimbursed defendants for costs 

and expenses in an amount to be set by the court. Dkt. No. 66. 

At plaintiff’s request, the court extended the deadline for new counsel to appear until 

November 2, 2015. Dkt. No. 81. New counsel for plaintiff Brad Greenspan and the class entered 

an appearance on that date. Dkt. No. 82. 

Defendant Google submitted a declaration from counsel attesting to $28,529.41 in fees and 

$162.50 in costs incurred since entry of judgment. Dkt. No. 68. Defendant IAC/InterActive Corp 

submitted a declaration attesting to $39,242 in fees and $241.26 in costs. Dkt. No. 69.1The court

Plaintiff filed a reply and amended reply to defendants’ declarations, seeking indemnification for 

defendants’ costs and fees from News Corp. See Dkt. Nos. 70, 74, 75. An indemnification claim is 

not properly presented in a reply to defendants’ declarations and is outside the scope of this order.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

is satisfied that these declarations reasonably reflect the fees and costs incurred by defendants. The

court finds that a payment of $20,000 to Google and a payment of $25,000 to IAC are appropriate 

to mitigate the prejudice to defendants of reopening this case by reimbursing a portion of their 

costs and expenses. 

Plaintiff shall pay $20,000 to Google and pay $25,000 to IAC/Interactive Corp. Within 

five (5) days of payment, plaintiff shall file a declaration attesting that payment has been made. 

The court will then grant relief from the judgment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 10, 2015
