PL.’S STIPULATED MOTION TO STAY MOTION FOR COST, FEES, & EXPENSES 

Plaintiff PRISON LEGAL NEWS (“PLN” or “Plaintiff”), a project of the Human 

Rights Defense Center, through undersigned counsel, moves for an order staying the filing 

of Plaintiff’s Bill of Costs and its Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Related Non-taxable 

Expenses, pending Defendants’ appeal of the Court’s prior orders. See Dkt. 311. 

By virtue of this Court’s order granting, in part, PLN’s motion for summary 

judgment (Dkt. 260), the ensuing permanent injunction entered by the Court (Dkt. 305), 

and the judgment entered against Defendants (Dkt. 306), Plaintiff is entitled to seek 

attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. 

Nevertheless, in light of Defendants’ appeal, in the interests of time and efficiency 

and to promote judicial economy, it is prudent to stay the litigation of attorneys’ fees and 

costs while the appeal is decided. 

Counsel for the Parties have conferred regarding this request. Undersigned counsel 

represents that Defendants’ counsel does not object to this request. 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Prison Legal News requests a stay on filing its Bill of 

Costs and Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Non-taxable expenses until 60 days after the 

conclusion of the appellate proceedings, including any potential Petition for Writ of 

Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, in this matter. 

DATED: December 11, 2019 Respectfully submitted,
