NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER E BANAS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

VOLCANO CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-01535-WHO 

ORDER ENTERING TEMPORARY 

STAY OF ENFORCEMENT OF 

ATTORNEYS' FEES AWARD

Re: Dkt. No. 129

On December 12, 2014, I awarded defendant Volcano $3,524,466.55 in attorneys’ fees and 

costs. Dkt. No. 126. Plaintiffs Christopher Banas and Paul Castella have filed a motion to stay 

execution of the award pending appeal of the underlying orders granting Volcano summary 

judgment and attorneys’ fees. Dkt. No. 129. Plaintiffs have also filed a motion to shorten time in 

order to have the motion for a stay heard on January 21, 2015. Dkt. No. 130. Plaintiffs also 

request that the Court immediately enter a temporary stay of enforcement of the fee award while 

their motions to stay and to shorten time are pending.

Plaintiffs’ request for a temporary stay is GRANTED. Execution of the fee award is 

TEMPORARILY STAYED pending resolution of plaintiffs’ motion for a stay (Dkt. No. 126).

If Volcano agrees that the motion for a stay should be heard on January 21, 2015, it should 

notify plaintiffs’ counsel and Ms. Davis, my Courtroom Deputy, no later than 4:00 p.m. on 

January 16, 2015, and file any responding papers by noon on Tuesday, January 20, 2015. If not, 

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-3(b), Volcano has until Tuesday, January 20, 2015, to oppose the 

motion to shorten time, and I will set the hearing thereafter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 15, 2015
