ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY’S FEES

On October 7, 2014, this Court granted plaintiff’s motion to compel to the extent

16
17

specified on the record at the hearing held on the motion. At that time, the Court took

18

under submission plaintiff’s request for recovery of the attorney’s fees incurred in

19

connection with the motion.
After further consideration, the Court finds that the motion should not have been

20
21

necessary. Given the issue involved, the parties should have been able to work out a

22

resolution without the necessity of Court intervention. Therefore, the Court finds it

23

appropriate to award plaintiff, as a prevailing party on the motion, attorney’s fees. Given

is ordered to pay the amount awarded within 15 days of the date of this order.
