WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Christopher C. and Laura L. Wilkinson,

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV11-02467-PHX-DGC

ORDER 

 Defendants TruCap Grantor Trust 2010-2 and Marix Servicing, LLC have filed a 

motion for attorneys’ fees. Docs. 45, 48. Plaintiffs have not responded. The Court will 

grant the motion. 

 Plaintiffs’ claims in this case arose out of a loan they obtained in the amount of 

$1,120,000. On May 22, 2010, the Court granted Defendants’ motion for judgment on 

the pleadings with respect to all claims against Defendants, including a claim for breach 

of contract. Doc. 43. 

 A.R.S. § 12-341.01 provides that a prevailing party in a contract action is entitled 

to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees. Defendants clearly are the prevailing parties in 

this case, which arose out of Plaintiffs’ loan agreement and alleged breach of contract 

claims. The Court therefore concludes that Defendants are entitled to an award of 

attorneys’ fees under § 12-341.01. 

 The amount of fees sought by Defendants are clearly reasonable. Defendants’ 

attorneys billed at a rate of $150.00. They seek a total of $7,620.00 in attorneys’ fees and

$661.41 in costs. Doc. 48 at 14. The Court finds these amounts to be reasonable and 

appropriate.

Servicing, LLC for attorneys’ fees (Doc. 45) is granted. 

 2. Plaintiffs shall pay to Defendants $7,620.00 in attorneys’ fees and $661.41
