Before the Court is Defendants' Motion for Attorneys' Fees (Dkt. 72). Defendants filed its motion after the Court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in Defendants' favor (Dkts. 69, 70). On September 5, 2008, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Dkt. 73). Plaintiff's appeal is currently pending. Because the Court cannot resolve Defendant's motion for attorneys fees while Plaintiff's appeal is pending, the Court will deny the motion with leave to refile after the appeal is concluded. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Attorneys' Fees (Dkt. 72) is DENIED with leave to renew the motion after resolution of the appeal. /// /// /// ///
