Glenn A. Savona, et al.,
13
Defendants.
14
Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion for Award of Attorneys’ Fees and
15
Non-Taxable Expenses (Doc. 60). Defendants ask the Court to award $36,650 in
16
“estimated” attorneys’ fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. (Doc. 60 at 2). The sole
17
evidence offered in support of the motion is Defendants’ assertion that “The estimated
18
amount of the attorneys’ fees at this time are: 183.25 hours X $200/hr. (estimated) =
19
$36,650.” (Id.) Although Defendants stated that they would file a memorandum of points
20
and authorities with supporting documentation, they have failed to do so.
21
Local Rule 54.2(b)(2) requires motions seeking attorneys’ fees from parties other
22
than the United States must “file and serve a motion . . . (along with a supporting
23
memorandum of points and authorities) within fourteen (14) days of the entry of
24
judgment in the action with respect to which the services were rendered.” LRCivP
