ORDER
/
16
On June 20, 2011, plaintiffs filed a document called “The Winters’ Objections to
17
the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendations Regarding Defendant Logsdon’s Attorney’s
18
Fees.” (Objections, Dkt. No. 294.) Plaintiffs objections concern an order entered by the
19
undersigned, which, in part, granted defendant Valerie Logsdon’s motion for attorney’s fees and
20
awarded Logsdon $12,925.00 is attorney’s fees and $368.70 in costs. (Order, Apr. 21, 2011, Dkt.
21
No. 284.)
22
As an initial matter, plaintiffs’ objections are procedurally defective. The
23
undersigned granted Logsdon’s motion for attorney’s fees by order, and did not recommend the
24
award through proposed findings and recommendations. Accordingly, the order was effective
25
immediately, and no findings and recommendations were entered to which plaintiffs could
26
object. To the extent that plaintiffs intended to apply for reconsideration of the April 21, 2011
1
1
order before the undersigned, see E. Dist. Local Rule 230(j), such application for reconsideration
2
is denied.
3
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that to the extent that the document
4
filed by plaintiffs and entitled “The Winters’ Objections to the Magistrate’s Findings and
5
Recommendations Regarding Defendant Logsdon’s Attorney’s Fees” (Dkt. No. 294) is an
6
application for reconsideration of the undersigned’s April 21, 2011 order, that application for
7
reconsideration is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
