No. C 06-00545 WHA

A prior order stated that calculating the amount of attorney’s fees and expenses would be

16

handled by a special master pursuant to FRCP 53 and 54. The time for objections has long passed

17

(Dkt. No. 740). Plaintiff’s tardy objection to the appointment of a special master is OVERRULED.

18

On July 8, plaintiff objected to the appointment of Matthew Borden based on having “at

19

least one client in common” and representing a party to which plaintiff’s counsel are “presently

20

adverse in another matter” (Dkt. No. 772). By NOON ON JULY 11, plaintiff shall please explain

21

the legal basis for why this constitutes a conflict.
