ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK

OF COURT TO REIMBURSE

FILINGS FEES TO DEFENDANTS

THAT WERE ERRONEOUSLY

INCURRED

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK

OF COURT TO TERM THE

PENDING APPEAL

(Documents #198 & 199)

On December 30, 2010, Defendant and Counterclaimant San Joaquin Valley Railroad

Company and Defendant Tulare Valley Railroad Company (“Defendants”) filed a request for

reimbursement to Defendants of filing fees. Defendants’ request is based on a December 28,

2010 notice of appeal erroneously filed by Defendants. Defendants have provided evidence that

they intended the December 28, 2010 documents to be a motion for reconsideration of the

Magistrate Judge’s December 14, 2010 order and not an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of

Appeals. See Documents #198 & 199. As such, Defendants should not have paid the $455.00

required for an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In the interests of justice, the court ORDERS that:

1. Defendants request for the reimbursement of $455.00 to Defendants (Document

#198) is GRANTED;
