On December 17, 2002, the Court established a procedure by which plaintiffs are

20

to collect attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the Stipulation for

21

Injunctive Relief. This procedure requires plaintiffs' counsel to submit to defendants a

22

quarterly statement of fees incurred in monitoring work, and permits defendants thirty

23

(30) days from the receipt of plaintiffs' statement to notify plaintiffs of any disputed

24

items. After the parties meet and confer on any of defendant's objections, counsel shall

25

then prepare a stipulated order for payment of the fees not subject to defendants’

26

objections. The Order also states that defendants shall have thirty (30) days from the

27

entry of the order to pay the undisputed fees and that interest on any undisputed fees will
