' by the
Honorable Sheila K. Oberto
, United States District Judge/Magistrate Judge.
I believe that the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this
action:
1. Reimbursement for Mileage in the amount of $180.96 on 07/24/2019: Plaintiffs counsel traveled to Mule
Creek State Prison for an in-person meeting with Mr. Bradford. Pursuant to General Order 558, section 4.A.S)i.,
reimbursement for travel in a privately-owned vehicle may be allowed at the federal rate.
2. Reimbursement for Mileage in the amount of $12.06 on 10/17/2019: Plaintiffs counsel traveled to the U.S.
Eastern District Court (Fresno) to participate in a court-ordered settlement conference. Pursuant to General
Order 558, section 4.A.5)i., reimbursement for travel in a privately-owned vehicle may be allowed at the federal
~

a

Counsel seeking reimbursement must support all claimed expenses by submitting invoices, receipts or similar
documentation. Without such documentation, counsel will not be reimbursed.

I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed
the amount of$ j193.02
I therefore request that this court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to exceed that stated
above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.
