ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES

Defendants have timely filed a motion for attorney's fees after amended judgment. The Court is convinced that the evidence is not frivolous as to the claims of Frederick, Ashley, and Briana Jackson. The only exception could be Shawna Martin. Plaintiffs should therefore limit the opposition that they will presumably file to addressing whether the claims brought by Shawna Martin were frivolous such that awarding attorneys' fees to defendants would be justified as to her claims. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: October 6, 2010.
