4 March 29, 2013, this Court issued an order stating, inter alia, that “[u]pon Defendants’
5 notification that the final class member has been released, the parties shall, within twenty
6 (20) days, file their motions, if any, for attorneys’ fees …. Docket No. 701 at 8. On
7 June 28, 2013, Defendants notified the Court that the final class member had been
8 released. Docket No. 707 at 1.

Pursuant to these orders and agreement between the parties, Plaintiffs delivered by

10 hand-delivery their Quarterly Statement for the Second Quarter and part of the Third
11 Quarter of 2013 covering the period April 1, 2013 – July 3, 2013 (the “Final Quarterly
12 Statement”) to Defendants on July 3, 2013. The parties completed their meet and confer
13 on July 10, 2013, and reached an agreement as to fees and costs incurred. Defendants do
