Defendants.

The Court notes that Plaintiff State of Arizona has filed a “Notice of Filing Form

16

of Judgment” (Doc. 736). Because this filing is not a motion, the Court will not take any

17

action on it.

18

Moreover, the Court notes that under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Rule”)

19

58(a)(3), a judgment for an award of attorneys’ fees is not required to be entered in a

20

separate document. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a)(3). The State of Arizona is not entitled to

21

the entry of judgment in a separate document for the Court’s award of attorneys’ fees

22

(Doc. 726). The Court has previously declined such a request. See United States v.

23

Business Recovery Servs., LLC, 2012 WL 3064253 (D. Ariz. July 26, 2012). The State of

24

Arizona has not shown that a separate document is necessary for the execution of the

25

judgment.
