STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FEE APPLICATION

WHEREAS, the Court entered its Memorandum and Order (Dkt. No. 77) granting 

summary judgment for Plaintiff William Sassman (“Plaintiff”) on September 9, 2015, and 

issued a Judgment (Dkt. No. 78) in favor of Plaintiff on that same date; and

WHEREAS, on September 28, 2015, per the parties’ stipulation, the Court ordered 

that the deadline for Plaintiff to file his application for attorneys’ fees and costs be set for 

December 4, 2015 (Dkt No. 82); 

WHEREAS, the parties have begun negotiations regarding a potential settlement of 

Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs, which could obviate the need for the Court to 

adjudicate a fee motion in this case. However, the parties do not believe that the 

December 4, 2015 deadline will provide sufficient time for a formal resolution to be 

reached to avoid the need for Plaintiff to prepare his application; and

WHEREAS, the parties to the above-captioned case, through their counsel of 

record, have therefore agreed to a short extension of the time to submit an application for 

attorneys’ fees and costs, in an effort to attempt to resolve this matter without the need for 

a fee application to the Court;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and 

between the parties, through their counsel of record, that Plaintiff shall have an extension 

of time up to and including January 11, 2016, in which to submit an application for 

attorneys’ fees and costs. By entering into this stipulation, Defendants do not waive their 

right to appeal or the right to object to costs or attorneys’ fees.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
