vs.
ORDER
CITY OF ANDERSON, et al.,
Defendants.
/
Plaintiff, who is proceeding with retained counsel, brings this civil action. On
18
December 13, 2016, the court granted defendants’ motion for sanctions (see Doc. 42). Regarding
19
attorney’s fees sought by defendants’ counsel as part of the motion, the court ordered defendants’
20
counsel to submit a supporting declaration, which counsel did on December 22, 2016 (see Doc.
21
45). On January 20, 2017, the court received a letter from defendants’ counsel asking the court
22
to defer ruling on the attorney’s fees request pending discussions with plaintiff’s counsel on a
23
“possible compromise of the sanctions order.” As of August 23, 2017, defendants’ counsel had
24
not notified the court whether those discussions were fruitful and, if so, what action the parties
25
desire on the request for attorney’s fees and the court ordered counsel to notify the court in
26
writing within ten days whether counsel is still pursuing the attorney’s fees request.
1
1
Pending before the court is defendants’ counsel’s request for a 90-day extension
2
of time to inform the court regarding the attorney’s fees request. Good cause appearing therefor,
3
the request is granted. Counsel shall inform the court in writing within 90 days of the date of this
4
order whether counsel is still seeking attorney’s fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
