(In Chambers:) ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES

On September 13, 2012, judgment creditors John E. Schmidt and Shamrock
Partners Ltd. (“judgment creditors”) filed a motion requesting costs and attorneys’ fees
incurred in connection with their attempts to enforce the Court’s December 7, 2009 order
awarding the judgment creditors $29,497.50 in attorneys’ fees and $149.55 in costs.
On October 26, 2012, the Court granted the judgment creditors’ request for
attorneys’ fees, but deferred ruling on what amount of attorneys’ fees to award and
requested that judgement creditors submit time records setting out the work done by their
attorneys to enforce the December 7, 2009 order, and evidence that the hourly rate
charged by the attorneys is reasonable in the Los Angeles legal community for the type of
work performed. Judgment creditors submitted the information requested by the Court
on November 5, 2012.
After reviewing the judgment creditors’ submission, the Court finds that judgment
creditors have incurred an additional $33,797.50 in reasonable attorney’s fees in their
attempts to enforce the judgment, as well as $253.52 in costs, and therefore awards
judgment creditors these fees and costs pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure §§
685.040, 1033.5. See Dkt. 764. In total, judgment creditors are now entitled to collect
$63,295 in attorney’s fees and $403.07 in costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
