INTERVENORS

ORDER

The Ellis Intervenors move unopposed for the Court to approve
their recent settlement on monitoring and attorney's fees for JNPSDrelated work since 2018. Doc. 5740. The Court appreciates the exhibits
with the Intervenors' billing records; and the Court commends the
parties for negotiating and compromising on this fee issue. The Court
regrets its tardiness in tending to it. Some of the proposed hourly
rates are too high for this work in this market. But on the whole, the
$130,000 deal is fair and reasonable for all the good work done. Little
