In a February 11, 2009 Order, this Court established procedures by which plaintiffs are to
2 collect periodic attorneys' fees and costs in this case in connection with their post-judgment 3 work, including for all fee and expense requests from June 5, 2008 forward. 4 Pursuant to these procedures and agreement between the parties, plaintiffs delivered by
5 hand-delivery their Quarterly Statement for the Fourth Quarter of 2010 covering the period 6 October 1, 2010 December 31, 2010 to defendants on January 14, 2011. Defendants submitted 7 their objections to plaintiffs' statement on February 14, 2011. The parties completed their meet 8 and confer on March 7, 2011, and reached an agreement as to number of hours and costs 9 incurred, but not as to plaintiffs' claim to 2010 hourly rates (the "rates dispute"). Pursuant to the 10 parties' stipulation and this Court's September 29, 2010 Order, the parties will continue to 11 attempt to resolve the rates dispute; any motion regarding plaintiffs' 2010 rates and/or the rates 12 dispute shall be filed no later than May 12, 2011. 13 Subject to resolution of the rates dispute, the parties agree that $253,579.24 of fees and
14 costs incurred during the Fourth Quarter of 2010 are undisputed. The undisputed fees are 15 calculated based on negotiated hours at the 2008 rates set forth by Judge Karlton in his March 6, 16 2009 order ("Judge Karlton rates"). Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a chart setting forth the 17 balance currently due for the Fourth Quarter of 2010, which will become due and owing forty18 five days from the entry of this Order. Exhibit A also reflects the remaining Fourth Quarter 19 disputed fees, $46,475.00, which equal the difference between plaintiffs' 2010 rates and Judge 20 Karlton 2008 rates for agreed-upon merits hours. 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// 1
