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 KJM 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 March 2015 and will, by this order, 

direct that it be paid. 

In addition, the Special Master’s bill for services for February 2015 totaled $530,622.14. 

By order filed March 24, 2015, ECF No. 5294, the Clerk of the Court was directed to pay to the 

Special Master $470,000.00 of that total pending further deposits into the interest-bearing account 

from which payment for those services is made. On April 15, 2015, 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 together with the full amount for the services provided by 

the Special Master in March 2015.
