REQUEST FOR PAYMENT

REQUEST OF PRO BONO FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES
Complete this form and return it to the court (with two copies) for approval prior to incurring the
cost for which reimbursement is requested.

I, Brian Rothschild

, attorney for plaintiff(s), declare as follows:

I was appointed to represent plaintiff(s) in this action on May 2, 2011
, by the
Honorable Kendall J. Newman
, United States District Judge/Magistrate.
I believe that the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this
action:

Travel to Sacramento to argue the Motion to Compel and for Sanctions and to defend against the
counterclaim of CDCR for sanctions before the Court on December 8, 2011,. The cost listed below is the
estimate for one attorney to travel to Sacramento from Los Angeles, including airfare, taxi, and incidentals.

(e.g., deposition of _______________, defendant herein).

I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed
the amount of $ 550
.
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.
